Project "White Lightning"
Merv, its been awhile man... You are a hell of a hot rodder, man. I had a lot of respect for you, from the first day I met you. And this just backs all of that up.. Anyone who hasn't hung out with him, he is just as cool in person as his persona online. He is always down to bench race and chat about cars, and tells you like it is, even if it isn't what you wanna hear.. I'm very impressed, and went through both threads.. They are awesome builds, and I bet they are a blast to drive! Props man! And PM me your number, it would be cool to catch up!

Merv I have owned 4 s-10 trucks and one s-10 blazer. I love the little *****, they are so ugly, yet you can beat the **** out of them and they still come back for loving at the end of the day. I really want to put a 4.8 or a 5.3 in my 4 cyl s-10 and enjoy it like you are with your truck. I want to see some pics of this MCSS in action!
