I know better than to eye ball the measurement, I just got sloppy. 100% my fault.

That's where Rich stands for now on this build. I'll keep the thread updated as he continues working.
Nice Job Rich... I'm completely Jealous man...
If you're so inclined, here is the whole thread.... The work has been amazing, even from the beginning. Very much worth going through it, if you're into True Custom Work...

This is without the estimated ~300 hp that I still have on top of these numbers.
And here is how she's sitting right now.....ready to do some huntin'....

But, now that this big puppy is in there, now it's time to turn up the wick. Rick from Garmon's will be running the truck this Friday night at AMS and after that we'll T&T on Sunday and bring in the rest of the Go Fast.

I could be wrong but it looks like the truck that beat a supercharged viper from 1320
