Learn from My Mistakes - I mean CHANGES !!

[Syborg Twin Turbo]

Okay so the other day i was sorting all of the pictures of my truck and i started to notice i've made a bunch of changes on the build of my truck. If i think back i am certain i could almost figure out how much time and money i've spent and lost. So in the end will the truck ever be done - Man I hope so. But try to learn from my mistakes or changes and stick with the build that you have in your head. Heck write it down and follow it. It may just save you time and money.

Re: Learn from My Mistakes - I mean CHANGES !!

if people would stop coming out with kick ass new cool stuff it would be simple to build a car. but every time someone comes out with something new it's more money upgrading and getting the latest/best parts.

it's like building a computer. a month later there's something bigger/better/faster on the market.

Re: Learn from My Mistakes - I mean CHANGES !!

Man and i thought i changed my mind on the build of my GT alot, with mine some things have stayed the same, especially with the suspension setup, only i just changed my mind and will be mini tubing the back to fit bigger meats- 325/50R15 MT ET Street drag radials.

My biggest changes has been with the engine. Oh well good luck with your build Marty.

Also, have you sold that lightweight core support yet? Any drawbacks to using it on a street truck?
