He did all of the work, the cutting welding, painting, I helped him with the fabrication of parts needed to tie it all togeather, but he made the parts and installed them. The truck ended up chopped (top removed) channeled (body lowered 6 inches over frame) and shortened (3 foot taken out of frame), and the windsor engine installed, the only out sorced work done to the truck was the exhaust system. Total outlay for the truck ended up at $680, which include an IH tractor radiator, the exhaust system, used tires and wheels from a swap meet and cans of spray paint. He was 15 1/2 when it was finished, and had to take me along to drive it in americruise because of only having a learners permit. Had I known how the truck was going to turn out, I would have probably opted to have given him a small block (mopar), maybe even one of the polys for it, but when it started I did not know where the project would go or even if it would get finished. But now that it is done, I do not particuilarly want to see it change, because of the memories and bonding that went into this creation. Anyone that would like to see it can copy and past the link at end of this message, sorry to say it happens to be a pic. of me driving instead of him. dodger Dennis 65 Dodge Coronet '04 Ram Hemi --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
