SURELY you can do much better than that? :)

Just razzin' ya'. :hehe:

You did a very nice job making that truck look clean and organized. :cool:

I'd own it instead of this beater 1st gen, if I had the funds.

Who did that valve cover for you? I like that! Would be good advertising if the new owner kept it.

It's a keating cover, they will machine in pretty much whatever you want for a few extra bucks
 
If anyone wants to do some trading I'd be open to side by sides, project 2nd gen trucks, or shop equipment like a chassis dyno, vehicle hoists, etc.
