I love this truck! Great pictures Sieg.... as usual.


I think the pics show some of the "issue" --- that's a lot of roll going on there IMHO.

Holy cow!!!! Been trying to stay off the web a bit, with some work projects in full swing its been easy.....to come back on here and read all of these nice things is pretty motivating.

I pretty much agree with everyone's comments here that unless I pickup some huge sponsors and some incredible driving skill, I am kind of setting myself up for an unhappy outcome (self Inflicted)

I want to say thanks to all of you for taking the time to chime in here, it actually means a lot to me. I got the opportunity to meet a handful of you guys either at SEMA or the Lat G dinner (Except Greg.........Nice work Basher) and everyone was awesome and even just the conversations I learned a thing or two.

Not sure at all where I am going with the truck moving forward, but Yes Greg, it probably needs a little more spring in the front and a little more sway bar. That was the first track outing with that spring setup and I went from 450 fronts to 650 fronts. I am guessing it needs to be 750 fronts and a bigger front bar.

I am addicted to track days....they are super fun and you get some great seat time, but I would like to get some autocross laps under my belt.

I am thinking that there will be a dedicated track car in my future though, just not sure when or how much $$$ Ill spend on it.

Sieg....awesome photos thank you for taking them and sharing...looks like a new screen background is in my near future.

Thanks again fellas.

Definitely keep this truck as a cruiser. Put a reciever hitch in the thing, pull your track car to the track with it!

Man, I love this truck. I'd love to do one like this in the future!

Word on the street is the truck may be finding a new home...🤔 I just hope whoever ends up with it continues to track it and annoy the guys in the pretty foreign sports cars.

I really enjoyed see the build from start to end. Thanks for the detail.
