$50 says keith's truck runs before renz's
thats not saying much, keith's truck has been "in progress" for as long as i can remember, hell I don't think i've ever seen it.. has to be at least 3-4 years now.
I always seem to have a project going on it when we have a meet so the truck did miss the meets but I did not. It did run in between all my projects. My last big project put me out of service for a while when I upgraded the entire suspension to Polygraphite bushings and Powdercoated all the suspension parts. That took a while and I think the only person impressed other than me, I think, was my alignment guy walked out into the waiting room and announced how I am more "anal" about the suspension than him.
Currently I am rebuilding (the engine) which went last year from a leaking head gasket that hydraulic locked my piston and broke a rod sending it thru the oil pan and also thru the front diff case...OUCH. I was always the "Stock Truck" diehard guy always tuning what I had instead of throwing parts at it, but all that has changed....So the motor is out and I am going bigger, better and that just takes time because of the money involved and finding the correct parts. If I could find all the parts and had the money it would go quickly but I have trouble with both right now. I have put an engine/new turbo/ exhaust in Big Mike's truck in 3 days including redoing the wiring harness with Big Mike, but that was with his money and having all the parts right there. I need to win more raffles...
