Nice detail-you got my attention 

[slusher]

Man,you have some outstanding detail work going in this build. I really like what you have done....

[cobraman]

Wow ! That's really going to be something.

Excellent start  !

[Jstfrnds]

   Thanks to all. I've posted a few other builds of mine on here awhile back. But I will keep you all updated on this build. First big truck I've ever built. I LOVE detail. Thanks again for the comments

Great start! Impressive work. Where did you get the tires and wheels?

[Jstfrnds]

I took monster truck tires and cut them down and then glued them back together and the rims are all homemade. I got the dry sump and starter done tonight. 

[Jstfrnds]

  Ok today I got the headers done and the pulley system so far. Thanks for all the comments.

SWEET TRUCK!! Don't start the engine till you get plug wires in the correct firing order. LOL Hate to see you bend a bunch valves

   I no right. Lol. But for the first time I wasn't sure if I could do that. Next build for sure. The only thing box stock on the engine is the tranny n block. All other is hand made. Never done one this detailed but I love detail.

I like it. Thanks f or telling where the tires came from. 

Just say it is one of those high dollar distributor caps so the wires stay neat. 

[slusher]

Great engine detail. All your lines and fitting are neatly done. 

[Jstfrnds]

Nope. I made the distribotor and made the boots on the wires. Nothing iis bought. Make the heads out of styrene and intake is all handmade. Carbs are all homemade also. Need to get them a little detailed better next set. Getting better at making these small things but I have big hands. So !!!!!!!!  Lol. But practice makes perfect. I hope. Lol

   Ok, got the transfer case done and the ujoint a for driveshafts. That was freaking hard.but got them. Hope u like how the build is going.

Ok people,  I don't mean to sound negative but I had this thread in on the workbench guess I wasn't allowed to put it there. But I hope now this is correct. I have been adding new pics of how it's going. Hope you all are enjoying this build. I got all the suspension done and the seat harnesses and the fender flares. Getting there slowly.

Looking really good!  Those are some killer little U-Joints!  Nice work!

Looks like you hit the ground running with this one!

Nice detail-you got my attention 

 thank you. Got some color on it and all the seat harnesses. Crazy hard. Lol

Very Nice Project!! Excellent work and detail!! The Color choice is Great! I like it!!

[Jstfrnds]

Ok. Got the black on it now. Almost all the suspension is done and been working on the interior. It's funny the little things are what slows a project down a lot. But I did start a new thread on another progect while paints drying more on the mud truck. It's a magnum with a huge twist. Hope you all like. 

[Jstfrnds]

I have more pics to add but it's telling me I can't. Not sure what's up.
