[Syborg Twin Turbo]

Thanks guy's

 

[MotorMouth]

Wow man, very nice. It looks like you have more into just that 4 link and front suspention that I have into my whole truck :-?

That will be a nice rig when it is done!

i don't even want to think about how much money i have in this truck. I lost count when it went over 40k

 

[MotorMouth]

You must not be married

My wife is mad at me for just spending a few grand on a new motor :roll:

 

[Syborg Twin Turbo]

1st wife - she told me it was her or my syclone
- i told her i was going to miss her
- she said i was going to miss some of my money
- she had a great atorney (not good - great)
- she was correct she got all of the furniture and my money
- i got the syclone, 1/2 of bedroom set and an empty house


2nd wife - new what she was getting into
- she actaully bought me the gt
- as long as i don't spend house moeny on the truck she doesn't care
- thus the Part-time / full time second job (buying and selling parts)
- did i mention the lack of sleep that goes with the second job & 2 kids

so if you ever meet her, just keep it a secet how much money is in the truck

 

[GM TURBO]

Marty,

What's sad - as great as the pics look - it is 25 times nicer in person. This thing is a work of art.

I can't wait to see it run in 3 years

Since the 02 nats no one (Dave - GM Turbo) has let me forget how bad i am at the lights. So when the time come's i'll be looking for a driver.

Any takers

[Syborg Twin Turbo]

from the Neatherlands - Huh

that might cost alot - but what the heck

 

[GM TURBO]

Marty - you let me drive - I'll pay the track fees

Plus I live closer.

 

[Syborg Twin Turbo]

things are sounding better.

Looks like Dave may be the man - any other offers

 

[jwaller]

any other offers

this could get really nasty. :roll: 0X

 

[Merk]

I'm probally a no better driver than you are Marty. I'd settle for shotgun anytime.

Too bad you are a slow builder :wink: .. Woodward would love this truck

 

[Syborg Twin Turbo]

If i could convince my wife to work less and my kids to sleep thru the night i actaully might get more done. I hope to make alot of progress in the next couple weeks.

 

[Timbo]

Can I be the official street driver? I'm good at traffic lights.
