I'm in Port Orange, just out of Daytona. Your truck sounds great! Will you have it at the Turkey Run in November? I had hoped to have my COE ready, but have run out of money, so I'm saving up for a driveshaft, shifter, gas tanks, etc, as I work on the rest of it. Hope to see pics of yours soon.

Sounds to me like you are putting in a pretty decent day as I usually spin wheels 3 or 4 hours prior to gaining any traction.
