No just spoke out of experiance sold a seat off for a buddy of mine a few times in his race truck just so happend that each time it was a younger guy and from OC. I lived in Laguna for some time and lived in IE for a long time not being an ass just saying I think most of us know at least one Kid (younger adult) that has more money then most and is from OC. I dont really see how you can assume i meant IE kids rather do meth, Kinda far fetched ya think.

Again my comment was not made to offend and especially not make drug related IE assumptions.
Just like we kind of all know those kids in the IE (meth lab central - no?) who do meth.

Yes it's a stereotype, just like yours was and that is where my sarcasm came from. I was just pointing out the stereotype of the rich OC kids vs. IE & meth. So yeah, Nick - your kid is from the OC - doesn't that mean he is a rich spoiled brat :roll:

Don't let it get to you Steve. Living in OC, I hear this all the time too. I know people in the IE more "OC" than me!! ;)


Lets just remember we all live in different areas of the country not just California and we all have the same interest and a guy can Fab in OC as well as IE or Michigan or New York..... :mrgreen:

I am sooooooo surprised that John didn't want that mold... It wouldn't be the first useless artifact that is stored at autofab. That being said. I want some useless autofab artifact.

How are those different than the Truck Avengers? Other than not having a transfer tube or choke tower...
My car is a hybrid; it burns gas and rubber.

I don't know anything about carbs... I had my business partner work with C&J on it. As I understand it, it is built as sort of a quagmire of parts. They built it based specifically on the motor I have built and how I will be using the truck. I am pretty sure it is not just some off the shelf set up. I know it also has some fancy system that pumps back any extra fuel it is not using...

Here is a little more progress, Here are the lasered and bent leaf spring brackets and shackles. I won't get them welded up for a little while as I will be going to Thialand for 2 weeks.

Finished and going on the truck. Finally. I am setting up the truck for multiple ride heights depending on what it is being used for. (I.E. racing, prerunning, chasing, getting groceries )

Looking good!

on a side note - safe to assume the blue "thing" in this pic is a digital readout angle finder? If so - where did you get it?
