starting my new toy. just bought it for a cheap toy and i have already said to hell with the cheap toy

just picked up a L33 5.3 and 4L60e for it. also just found a set of brp long tube headers

i am sure i will have 4 million questions for you guys as the build goes on but i hear nothing but great things about this place so i am sure i like it here

a few pics of the truck











getting her ready for paint







these are the last 2 rides i have built, i hope this one turns out as good

this was the one i just sold. my little streetbike, it ran 5.30's in the 1/8th with my big *** on it






this was the s10 i built. it went 7.12 at 98
