FOLLOW ALONG TO SEE HOW THIS PLAIN JANE PICK UP
GOT THIS BAD BOY STUFED IN IT

AND BECAME THIS!!

THE TRUCK STARTED OUT AS A DAILY DRIVER, THAT ALSO PULLED MY '85 PRO T/A TO ALL THE OUT OF STATE SHOWS.
ONE YEAR AT THE "STREET MACHINE SUMMER NATS" IN SOUTH BEND IN. WE DICIDED TO GIVE THIS "TOW TRUCK" A FACE LIFT.

I HELPED LAY OUT THE FLAMES WHILE DENNY OF "DENNY DID IT" LAYED ON THE SPONGE PAINT JOB.
HERE WE ARE ON OUR WAY HOME AFTER A VISIT WITH RELITIVES. LOOK CLOSE AND YOU CAN SEE THE '85 T/A I found another pic of the T/A so you can see what it realy looked like!
AFTER THIS WE MADE PLANS TO SHOW THE TRUCK FROM TIME TO TIME IN THE UP COMING SEASON, SO THAT WINTER WE PAINTED THE GRIL TO MATCH THE WHITE NOSE AND I BOLTED ON A BUNCH OF CHROME AND POLISHED ALUMINUM UNDER THE HOOD. SANTA WAS GOOD TO ME THAT CHRISTMAS.
HERE ARE SOME SHOTS TAKEN THE MORNING OF THAT FIRST SHOW THE FOLLOWING SPRING

MUCH TO MY SURPRISE I TOOK HOME A 1ST PLACE IN CLASS AT THAT SHOW, AND WENT ON TO DO QUITE WELL THAT YEAR. IN FACT I DID BETTER WITH THE TRUCK THEN I DID WITH THE T/A. LATER THAT SAME YEAR I MET A FELLOW CAR GUY WITH A '85 BLOWN Z28. WE BECAME GREAT FRINDS, BUT HE WAS VERY PERSISTANT THAT I NEEDED A BLOWER IN MY T/A. JUST KIDING IT DIDNT TAKE MUCH CONVINCING ON MY PART, ITS SOMTHING I HAD WANTED FOR A LONG TIME.CONVINCING MY WIFE TO LET ME SPEND THE MONEY WAS ANOTHER STORY! DONT GET ME WRONG SHES THE GREATEST AND HAS ALWAYS SUPORTED MY HOBBY BUT TO BUILD A MOTER LIKE THIS TAKES SOME SERIOUS JACK TO DO IT WRIGHT. ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF LATER I HAD SAVED UP MOST OF THE MONEY THROUGH MY DJ BUS [I DJ CAR SHOWS AND CRUISE NIGHTS].MY WIFE FINALLY CAVED IN WITH ONE STIPULATION "PUT IT IN SOMTHING THE WHOLE FAM COULD GET INTO" [THE T/A WAS A 2 SEATER].
BECAUSE MY REAL LOVE WAS BUILDING TRUCKS IT WAS THE LOGICAL PLACE TO GO NOT TO MENTION THE ADVERTISEMENT CAPABILITY [I USE THE TRUCK TO PULL THE DJ TRAILOR TO THE SHOWS I DO, IT NOW HAS MATCHING FLAMES]. WE DICIDED TO GET THE TRUCK BUILT TO GO TO THE "WOODWARD DREAM CRUISE" IN DETROIT MI. NO PROBLUM- AFTER ALL IT WAS 6 MONTHS AWAY!

THATS MY FRIND / ENGIN BUILDER EXTRODINARES Z28 BEHIND THE MOTER!

SUPRISE THE TRUCK DID GET DONE BUT IT WAS LATE THE NIGHT BEFORE WE WERE TO HEAD TO DETROIT. AND WITH ABOUT 2 MILES ON THE MOTER WE LOADED UP FOR THE TRIP. UNFORTUNITLY WE HAD ALITTLE TRAILOR ACCIDENT THAT NIGHT AS WELL. APARENTLY THE LITTLE ASTRO WOULDENT HANDLE THE BIG TRUCK. SO THANKS TO DAD WE LOADED BEHIND HIS TRUCK AND OFF WE WENT. WITH A CAVED IN PAS SIDE DOOR AND A FEW SCRAPES AND SCRATCHES WE WERE OFF TO THE MOTHER OF ALL CRUISE SPOTS. DONT WORRY WHEN WE GOT BACK INS. TOOK CARE OF THE DAMAGE AND A WHOLE NEW PAINT JOB!
HEAR WE ARE IN DETROIT FINISHING ASEMBELY AT THE HOTEL
