Other than my Tahoe (far from stock), I have a 2000 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 (Heads/Cam/exhaust/induction/full umi equipped suspension) and a 1974 Pontiac Firebird with an LS7 (H/C/I again) under the hood. It has Ridetech 4 link, coilovers all around, detroit speed subframe, 4L85E tranny, and too much to count. I do all the wrenching and tuning myself. HpTuners is my savior.
And I also have a custom 115ci VTwin trike. The trike used to be a 2 wheeler, however after i got into an accident in 2008 and lost my left arm due to BPI, it had been converted into a trike.

Other than cars, bikes and my tahoe, I've got 3 pitbulls (Used to be 4 but my oldest boy had passed away a year ago when he was 15 years old and a lovely wife.


Bad ass cars, a trike that totally changed my perspective on them (I always think of the Goldwings when I hear "trike"), impressive skills and craftsmanship, a super model wife, lives in Turkey... I'd like to hang with this dude for a few days.

I'm liking the Drew Brees Costume!!
My nephew (who is actually named after me by the way, he is Scott the 2nd) had his "who dat" shirt signed by Drew Brees. Now my brother won't let him wear it anymore. He's putting it away with a bunch of other sports memorabilia that he is saving for when lil Scotty gets much older.

Scott,
Have you assembled a chevy cab onto a ram chassis? Is that it? Should be much easier than swapping the engine&drivetrain...
Yes sir! Ive done a bunch of 6BT and 24 valve swaps into chevys and superdutys, power train swaps are actually much easier.. everything is one off on this truck inside and out, But i came across a super low mile 02 ram that was for lack of a better word very abused and a GMT800 cab for free so i said what they hell, its uncommon to see body graph's and Engine swaps are dime a dozen!

Thats it sitting on 37"s the spring will bring a 6 inch lift and 44"s most likely
An your attention to detail...
:win:
Thank you i allways belive that if everything is consistently f'd up its perfect! Lol
