You should go on tour with Rob and us on the west coat can see your trucks in person.

V's Bar is completely done, the truck passed NHRA Certification with flying colors, the interior is back in, the motors going in this week, and he should have it back in two weeks :lol:

Jim

Ya I know Jim, poor guy has had 3 Birthdays without his truck, and gone through 2 (or is it 3 now) different tow vehicles that have never had the chance to flat bed it.

In the end it's kinda like going through a dirvorce I guess, nothing gets done the first few years, then one day the lawyer finally decides it's time and has his para-legal type it up....

We all know it takes a long time to do such a build but unfortunately his sat for dam near 2 years before it was ever touched so in this case it was a lot longer than usual :(


HOWEVER FEAR NOT MY FRIEND, HE IS GOING AND HE WILL BE DRIVING A LIGHTNING :thumbsup:

I will be there to see the action!
Jim

What color??:eek:

I know!!!! I know!!!!! :devil:

I'm glad he's getting to go, the poor guy needed to get behind the wheel of a L again :thumbsup:
Lets just hope SOON it'll be his :rolleyes:

Either way it's great to see it FINALLY coming together, and I'm glad they documented the entire build from start to finish....

Hell JDM even got Vids of his Bars being certified

Trucks come a long way from
