Donor needs to be smoged. Gotta love California. It passes smog with the 1.8 but not the 5.7.

Come on,pay shipping and they are yours. It will kill me to throw them away....LOL


It's funny you mention pushing rice LUVNIT, this truck is being built with that in mind. I live in a well to do city and alot of the rich kids drive those stupid cars with the big fart cans. I hope this will shut them up for a while. Hell, my slow 2004 Harley beats most of them.

I stopped in and met Luvrv8 and saw this truck. It's very impressive what he's done in his garage. It's gonna be one badass truck when it's finished. He's a real nice guy and his work is damned sweet... can't wait to see the finished product..

That donor truck is too nice to cut up. I couldn't do it. :cry:
It's like these guys who cut up a perfect bug to make a baja, instead of getting a wrecked one to cut up.

But I also understand that starting with a good body makes your project easier.

Nice project though. It looks like it might hook up a little bit. :D

Funny you mention that. In high school I cut up a 56 oval rag and made it a baja.
