I may upgrade to a 3/4 ton gasser at some point but it will still be pre 2007

Brad I'm planning on open, as it won't just be used for racing.

Right now I’m thinking something like a 18-20 ft dove tail, steel deck, 5k axles (6 lug), slide out ramps.

Before starting on this project again for a 4th time, I decided to list it on marketplace. Took exactly one week to sell for full asking price. Car left yesterday, freed up a ton of room and added a nice chunk to my trailer fund.

I’d send you a care package to take care of those aches and pains but I see Texas didn’t legalize recreational yet.  Don’t need the feds showing up at your house or mine.

Selling parts off the parts truck is officially profitable! I've made my money back +$225 not counting all the parts I've used and stocked away!

The black sheep gates are nice.
I’ve heard the vs racing piston style is nice as well and is more in my budget

I’m waiting for Black Friday - I’ll pick up a piston style gate vs the diaphragm style

It's a VS racing gen 1 44mm gate - I guess they got it fixed on the newer ones

Playing with Holley boost control - looks neat but this wastegate is trash.
Leaks from the dome chamber into the bottom chamber. It’s so bad even 100% duty cycle doesn’t do anything.
I stuck the 3rd spring in it - that’s the only way it’ll get more boost at this point

Took the car on a 10 mile cruise today and it's still dry underneath - still don't trust this thing!

I think this one is finally done - well for the most part...
I swapped the hood, fenders, door, entire interior, hvac blend door actuators, installed some scumbag plastic rocker covers and installed my last hooker aerochamber muffler on it.
The leather seats were a huge upgrade in comfort, the heaters working is a bonus!
It's looks great from 10ft - but it's a 20+ year old truck with some blemishes.

With as hacked as this car was - I’d guess it had a fuel cell in it or an intercooler ice tank

Picked it up today, tweaked the torque converter lookup settings, installed a new windshield washer pump/tank, and installed a front air dam / spolier.
The air damn dropped the coolant temps 10F and the trans temps 40F!
Should be good to go for when my uncle can drive it again. He had a knee replacement done 12 weeks ago and they just had to remove it and install a temp sleeve due to infection. He’s got to wait for the infection to be clear two weeks and then they can try to install another knee.
