I haven't done anything but drive it. Been sick for the last 2 weeks and with working outside all day it's been kicking my butt. I've also been doing allot of welding and modifying of parts to get both of Dads plow trucks ready for him and helping a buddy put a strocker motor in his chebby. I doubt I'll do anything else to her until this spring. I don't have a garage at home and that 25 mile one way trip to the farm gets old to work on it. I haven't messed with the pod either since I don't have any gauges to use in mock up.

Well used the little truck as a truck today. I have to get my air bags on it but she pulls nice. I was told to come get this S10 and I can have it so I did. He was making a drag truck and I will finish it up.

I'm thinking Isuzu 4BD since I still have access to a few.

Well Carcrafter has made 500hp out of his from what I've read so I think that would move it along pretty fast.

Yeah it will be a slow process but I'll do a build thread on it too.

Yeah it's in this thread a few pages back I think. I haven't worked on it though I need to.
