[blazaboy86]

Good luck man.

[Mailman]

I took the truck to a B@E racecars for the back half, when i got it back I cut it apart and did it myself. It was a joke. I'm building the truck for the wild street class. Stock dash, all metal, all glass, 2 seats, 10.5 tire, no wheelie bars, lights and signals, factory firewall.

[wildmanfx2002]

yea that a good class

[Diabolical]

Very nice!!
You will make it!!

[2ndgen10]

Not bad, are you going with just the solid tube or are you going to weld in anymore supports? I'd at least put in 2 supports in the corners. JMO :thumbsup:
