So you bent that rod up like that with 21#'s? I thought 15#'s was safe on those rods, right?

I put about 7-8 thousand miles on it this summer. I love the truck and how its turned out so far, thanks Mark
I stumbled across that video awhile back. Good stuff! It made me think I should bring your thread back up for details. Again, truck looks great and it's awesome your driving the heck out of it. With occasional blasts of speed!

I was so busy trying to get ready for power tour and dragweek I kinda lost track of posting about the truck and mostly it being my first turbo build and attempt at fabricating my own intercooler and headers and rear mounted radiator and almost everything I didn't think there would be much interest in that type of build. I think mostly drag vehicle builds it seems and didn't want to be one of those people that think there really fabricating or building a car when there just adding gas to a car. There are a lot of people on here who are really good builders with cool stuff. That being said I love the truck and it does get drove a lot and thrashed when it is drove. I wish I could figure out how to tune. The motor should live awhile at 20+ psi I feel if the thing is right. Thanks for the liken the truck, mark

i am a relative newcomer to this board and most folks are building their cars for racing at some point. But most of us will be street driving them as well. And seeing fab ideas is helpful to many who have trouble coming up with ideas to surmount a problem. So have it!

PM coming soon about the rear mounted radiator.
