Wow man. You have mad skills in many different areas. I wish I had that much skills to have as much fun, and or work for more money LOL.

I admire your skills at 22, and beautiful work!

Thanks for sharing. There is not many 22 out there who works hard for their hobby, job, but many will instead throw party every nights.

Awesome!!!

Thanks for sharing. You basically built a whole new truck from scratch.

Go ask for an interview with a racing team like Penske, Gibbs, Rahal, etc..... They're often on the lookout for young promising young people like you as technicians/race-car builders, and can afford to pay some real money. And you would probably not need much training to meet their standards.

Yea my generation sucks. Most car people I hang around are much older than me and that's fine with me . Less bs and more experince and knowledge to be shared.

I've considered it. I would love to. But nowadays it seems like its more about who you know and how you can get the door opened to you. That's not to say I won't try anything.

zombie thread

project is not dead

made power steering lines


front brakes




made a bull**** temporary driveshaft so i can load and unload it.



what a *****, i actually had to raise it a inch.



so after spending most of the day chasing leaks (brake line fittings, and a somehow cut fuel line), bleeding the clutch and brakes, and doing a few pre-flight checks. i was FINALLY able to drive it for the first time in over a year and a half!!!

still don't have rear brakes, radiator hoses, e-fan wiring, body parts, windows, certain parts of the cage or even a battery box. but it still felt amazing to drive it....i need to adjust the throw out bearing as its not fully dis-engaging the clutch, its a simple fix, just a few shims should solve the problem.

enjoy =]


and i have no idea what was up with those sparks and fire ***** at the beginning?
