What is interesting for us is that they plan to keep it basically stock including the 6 cylinder but will upgrade the tran, brakes and front axle, put in a later rear third member, and many things that we would consider doing to our trucks. Supposedly low budget work. | | |

Keeping it Simple with a Stovebolt Survivor" is?
The story isn't on their website, so i'll have to check the rag out at the local newsstand.. sounds like it might be worth following.
I DID notice that their current issue is covering their build of a 100% aftermarket Fjord.. isn't that what most fiberglass "hot rods" are?
A fiberglass aftermarket cab sounds a little spooky.. but hey, it's halloween, so it's fitting!
an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
