    It will mostly be orange and silver. The rear wheel houses have been cut out and the new wheels tubs are in process.

    I negotiated a deal on a GEN 3 engine today. Pictures and details to come but I will tell you it is built for BOOST! I am leaning towards turbocharging.

    The project is still alive!

    The tires pictured are 315/35/20's and they aren't wide enough. I have way too much space between the tire sidewall and the frame rail so I have since decided to go with 345/30/20's in the back.
