Default Blood Sweat and Monsters!

Well, I'm not really sure what to say in a post like this. I know they say a Video is worth a whole lot of chin drops, so here it is...

The Contract Killer


This car was bought for 300 dollars, as a rolling chassis, that was on 4 different rims, and body worked to hell. Before I get into any of the formals about the car, I want to throw out a few names of people that this DEFFINITLY wouldn’t of been possible without. Melanie, I know you've gotten woken up many hours of the night from me comin in at 3AM from the garage...Sorrrry babe!

Big Rob, you deffinitly had some time in this car. All good things come to those who help, and our time is about to come. Jay U., you too were there MANY nights of tryin to get it done, which is very appreciated. And Brian Grimal....Words can't even explain the size of your brain....your the man! I got about 1498234 names of people that have helped out, so if I leave out, I’m sorry, Im writing this with half a brain right now.

Big Rob, Jay U., Brian Grimal, Kasey Smith, Grey/Tyler, Bailey, Mike Horne, Chris Crawford, Donamion, Aaron Larkin, Daniel Baker, Chuck Anders from HorsepowerEngineering, Nick Hoescar, Kevin East, Rick Intrau, Jeremy Giles, Brandon Willis, Blake (hipony), Lee at ASP, Garret Johnson, Phillip Cole, Aaron (WFO), Joe Rumfolo, Joe Leon, Carl Smith, Scooter Guerro, Mike Barton, Will (FLAW LS) and EVERYone else who I didnt mention that had a hand in it.

This one's for the guys who said I didn't have the skill to do it! GARAGE BUILT, not SHOP BOUGHT.

Now if you want some REAL fun... take everything that you just did apart and return the car back to stock. I guarantee you'll want to shoot yourself in 2 days. I just spent 3 hours looking for ONE electrical connector in a box of wires, but that single electrical connector allows me to repair a $300 accessory harness.

Glad to see it's running.
