thanks ! ordering decals tomorrow . figured I would post some pics of the tow rig also. it`s a 92 silverado 2wd. did some wok on a buddys XJ ,gave him some parts, and he gave me the truck. the frame was still in good shape but the rear x member and spring hangers were shot, but it had a lot of new parts on it already, cost $150 to get it running ,and to date i`ve put another $200 in it for parts, hoping to get it on the road for under $500 total lol, here are some before shots.... his father`s boat is named "boyhood dream" and is the same color, sticker is now removed lol

got the heep all painted, brakes are bled, now just need to get the motor back in and fab up some front shock mounts,then stick the 31`s on. first race is June 5 & 6 in Truro, can`t wait !! That looks like a classic Toyota paint scheme... very nice.

never made it to Truro, spent all week wrenching on it and couldn`t get the brakes to work, gave up friday morning at 2am. tried two master cylinders and prop valves and the pedal still sinks to the floor after the brakes are bled. hoping its a caliper leaking by or something stupid, but it will be ready for shelburne on fathers day !!

turned out to be a caliper, after changing the booster because the diaphram was busted. there was an air pocket in the caliper that just wouldn`t come free, had to push it in the entire way and bleed it before we got a pedal. tinkering with it tomorrow night and hope to test it out thursday night after work !!!

got the truck done the night before the race, never even tried it out, just threw it on the trailer and hoped for the best !! she performed pretty well for a stock 4 litre, didn`t have time to get the stroker built, and the ride is amazing. those edelbrock shocks made a world of difference !! think i finished 4th in my class , not bad for it`s first run !!! check out the air on the second vid lol
