That's at Wyotech?? Hell I went to the Laramie campus and the most I saw was traction bars and bumpers being made haha.

It comes down to the teachers and money. At the Laramie campus, in my class someone back halfed a Nova, another did a dana 60 or something like that under the front of a scout, and I built a 408 LS motor for my truck. This is by far the biggest project I have seen, the rest is who your willing to let help you build this stuff, and how fast you can get the rest of the course work done.

Seems like most of the kids in my class were slackers or idiots though. The class was cool. That's where I did all the suspension modifications to my '77 in my sig. Hated the town though. Couldn't wait for that Friday night to head back to Colorado for the weekend.

Had slackers and losers in every class but they were so unmotivated I was able to get the instructors help a lot easier if I needed.

And all the classes were tons of fun. Except the diesel engine class it was just hilarious how ridiculously stupid the instructors were. :roflmao:

been workin on the truck a bit heres the start or the fab 9 im making roll cage is 90% done and the plate on the front of the engine is to mount the second turbo
How big of axles are you going to be running? I am contemplating building a 9in for my C10 due to the negative offset of the wheels I am planning on running, just not sure what is overkill or just to weak.
