Your 45 just arrived @ Dons shop. Nice rig !

Thanks, I'm looking forward to coming up and checking out his shop.
Would love to see your truck while I'm there.

sorry for being a smart a$$ there, a little too much alcohol in the system last night. I'll look for the seam you are talking about today.

Hey Mike,
Thanks for having your LC around for me to take a look at.
Really nice. Looked like it was ready for anything.

Thanks. It sounds like you are going to go through a bit of a transformation on your rig. You will be happy with their work, and hopefully i'll get to help a bit where i can. I've got some cool ideas brewing for some tubing work.

is there a thread that goes over the xtra cab hard top you mentioned earlier? Or has that project been delayed/changed?

No thread on it yet. The project is in the design phase and close to starting up. We have some cool stuff brewing for the build.

No, the build will not be on mud. Hopefully you will see it @ CM'10.

Installed a crate tbi 350, h55, split case with 3:1 gears.
Custom rear swing out tire carrier.
Custom soft top with oem repro bows covering windshield to tailgate, hard doors with electric windows, vintage air a/c.

Thanks guys.
I decided yesterday that I am going to build a hard top for the xtra cab, to go with the troopy top and grey soft top that I originally used. I will post up the fab work when I get started on it. Should be fun !

One of my favorite trucks on the planet.

It's looking good, Mike!

I still wish we could have got the 1GR-FE to work in there. Maybe when I get the time and money, I'll figure out how to make it a viable option.
