When you guys value these trucks what do you consider in the value?
What it has in it as it sits?
What you have spent over all the years?
Do you put a value on all your labor or no?
I value it as what it would cost to replace it. I don't think Johnny would have a problem replacing it for 100 grand or maybe 85 grand. But 200 grand????
I have almost 40 grand into my truck and by the time its finished it will be right around 50. I don't see how someone could have 200 grand into something like it sits? I mean if you count every different blower,motor,trans, tires, rims, pulley, belt, etc then I guess you could. but all those parts aren't all on the truck as it sits.

What happened to this project ? Just one more promise ?
I don't see any info about a GT-40 stroker on JLP's website.
I really would like to buy one of that engines but don't think they will exist.
Stroker has been a very rare word lately.
