pulling waynes truck home after a night on the strip tearing it up!!


Broke the driveshaft in two pulling in the 2.6 class...oops


The officials telling me i had some pieces on the track... didnt even feel the driveshaft snap i was already on the brakes




After i dropped an injector the first time..


The first time at BYRON dragway



The day i live for and the reason i push so hard... will always be my numbers









Drunken nights in the garage lol... 5" intake i picked up off of jmaz268


throw in some humor ;)





Essential part of the process

late night shenanigans


typical summer day






one of the last times i drove it before the water pump let go..



Time has come.... Teardown Starts!!

Very good story the ADHD thing is a good thing I don't have it but I do have a problem which is called hyper focus its where I'm honed in on whatever I'm doing and it usually consumes me and the end result is usually amazing to me and others that see what I've done if I was working on something or building something its avert good trait to have buddy kudos to see your dream coming to life

Sweet ride! Wish I could do such things. Someday... For now I just brew good beer!




hey... There is always a need for good beer

It is a great feeling on the days where you can finally pull something together and have it turn out how you visioned... other days... rough

Wow! That was a awesome read.

It definitely looks and sounds like you guys have your fair share of fun out there!

Very cool build plans. You've definitely got your hands full for a build.

You definitely have some great friends it sounds like too, I only know Scott from the phone, but he has been there more then I could ever ask for and some! As have many other people on this forum. We are like one huge family always whiling to lend a brother/sister a hand:hug:

So good luck with you build and keep the pics coming. I'm sure it will all come together soon, and I'm sure you can't wait to get it back together. :thumb:

I plan on making it to a few!!! Hopefully get this thing done in time!! I am taking the cab off this week... redoing the frame and suspension. Stainless brake lines.. New shocks... All of it... cleaning tank.. New draw tube..then reassembling.
