To all you 5 year rookies......be afraid, be very afraid....

Just waiting for the right truck at the right time, there it is.

kino_fab · 04-02-2009, 08:41 PM

looks like a good project truck. Can't really tell from the pics, but it looks to be a slight frontend collision and a small underhood fire?

What class are you building it for?

*Sledpuller* · 04-02-2009, 08:43 PM

It got warm, the destruction was from the firefighters.....nice. They may as well just run over it with a TANK to put out fires, sheesh.

It will be built to NADM Super Street specs.

Howling · 04-02-2009, 08:45 PM

Same color now all it needs is an Amsoil sticker

JerrodGlover · 04-02-2009, 08:46 PM

Is that so that you can drop back to Street someday?

DISTURBED · 04-02-2009, 08:48 PM

Looks like a good truck, in alot better shape then mine when it was burnt up. All that was still good on it was the rear axle, trans, transfer case and the bed everything else got a little crispy

*Sledpuller* · 04-02-2009, 08:56 PM

I heard that Jerrod.

Yea the left front tire just burned a pin hole through, it held air so we could get it off the trailer.

The turbo is ok, spins free, valve cover started to wrinkle, top of VP-44 singed.

Radiator, IC, A/C, shot.

Another 5 minutes, and it have been bed and Dana 80 and rear bumper.

*GRotman* · 04-02-2009, 09:09 PM

Will it be ready for the '09 season?

zstroken · 04-02-2009, 09:17 PM

And the excuses will start! We have heard that everyone is so lucky that gene wasn't pulling.

*Sledpuller* · 04-02-2009, 09:17 PM

If I start on it tomorrow and work really really hard...NO.
I could prolly still beat Racin Dually to the track, however, lmao.

Ouch gene

i take it chances are slim to none that it will remain a 4v head with a p-pump.

Highfinance97 · 04-02-2009, 09:23 PM

Cant wait to see it done Gene....

*Sledpuller* · 04-02-2009, 09:24 PM

Well lets see, everything that "got me by" but was "too expensive to change" on the 97 won 4 different points championships, including a national title.

So, I get to start from scratch and make the changes I wanted to before, and then add in watching and learning for 4 years,

yea I think the truck will do ok.
