hey ya! another Texan has joined.

everyone I know is sick of hearing about my truck,
the dreams/plans... they don't understand why anyone
would want to hop-up a truck. Just make it look good.

about a month ago, I stumbled onto this site.
Guess what? My ideas aren't so dumb after all.
Finally people that understand.

I'm in the exact same boat. My friends just don't see the point. Sometimes I think I'm the only one with the need for speed, but then I just head on over to ls1tech or the up and coming www.ls7power.com

Thumbs up LS7power

motto to live by
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, shifter in one hand, wheel in the other, body thoroughly used
up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!" Wish I had more
time to make er faster.


thanks..

hummmmm, that's a long story!
I have a list with everything I want for my truck.
Part#, Desc, Vendor, $, priority... what a geek!

Performance: Nelson Tune, in contact with Allen this morning.
headers,cam, molly pr, lifters, shiftkit ,3.73 dana, Ls1 fan,3000 tq,
SC, and I've been reading about the Venom computerized N20 system.
10 sec club would be nice!

Appearnce: Yes, I'm going to make er look good too.
Plan to spend about $4,500. I like that mean lowered hotrod
truck look. Clean all the way around. No emblems, handles,
rear bumper......

I'll end up spending bout 10-11 grand and it will take a while.
I've had lots of project cars. I made a mistake, sold my last project,
bought a boat---4yrs nothing. I thought I was going to bust out of my skin!
tnx for asking, made my day! What are your plans?
