Hey, I just bought a truck. I am going to be doing a restomod with my students. I have some ideas but if you want to contribute ideas that my students can use, give a shout.

autoteach

Haha if you can believe it I was going to send you that very same picture. I'm sure you'll make it look awesome. I love the subtle modded resto look with some torq-thrusts or similar. It looks pretty darn cool as is right now. Does it have a newer bed on the back and are you going to keep that?

autoteach

it has a mid 90's step side, but I want to do the fleet side with wood bed floor.

The kids want to do a 6.0 LS2 aluminum block with C4 corvette suspension and trans/diff. We will see what I can do with a possible donor vehicle...

Aw man you are always doing something really cool. Are you aware they are doing almost the same build on the tv show TRUCKS? Its on SPIKE channel called "for sale engine clean up". Also doing the LS2 motor.

autoteach

dang, I will have to check that out...

as for always doing something cool, that only is the mechanical portion of my life which leads the interpersonal portion of my life kind of boring. Too bad some of you didn't live closer, I am sure that you would enjoy working with the kids as much as they would enjoy working with you.
