Must have a great paying job to afford that power house, it'll just be a dream for me. I just can't wrap my head around what I would do with all that power in a daily driver lol....... It would be for me if I'm gonna drop 30Gs plus on that i'd be driving it everyday to get my moneys worth. What you putting behind it to transfer the power??

I dunno how this thread went from a dented tail gate, to putting a helliphant in a 2nd gen lol. But I'm enjoying the conversation, and the pics. Apologies to the PO.

I seen one of these, but it was years ago I was kid. It was in a garage, been there awhile it was covered up and surrounded by stuff. But I remember the front end, and seeing the side of it.

I am enjoying the thread. Unfortunately, the only times my hands get greasy is when I am repairing my vehicles. This year, my money went into a new carport, roof and paint. My two-car garage has never held a vehicle since I purchased the house in '03. It is used as my workshop and for storage. The carport was on my wish list for a long time. Unfortunately, the sun still reaches the windshield in the mornings but it will prevent hail damage!

As for the tailgate, the cause will remain a mystery. It makes the whole truck look trashy. I guess that I could remove, repair and respray it. I do have a spray gun that has never been used. This might be the perfect part to practice on. Then there is the matter of purchasing another RR sticker and carefully cutting it with an exacto knife....

Perfect time to break in that new spray gun. I've gotta do some body work myself. On my 91 and my 05. My 91i want do a two tone with plum crazy, and hemi orange with a neon green pin stripe but I can't decide which color I want top and bottom. Then all I'll have left is the interior, that I want to do complete custom, all manual gauges, 60/40/60 seat from a 3rd gen I gotta do some measuring on my 05 seats to make sure they will begin to fit in the cab on my 91 before I buy them. And on my 05 i gotta do both rockers, and cab corners. And it needs a bed. I would love a car port but currently we are renting. The garage houses the wife's Shelby, and the tri-axle 30' enclosed trailer that came with it, holds our bikes, and some car parts lol. Just isn't never enough room bahahaha.
