WOW! I cant believe it took me 3 1/2 years to get this thing back, lol. I go pick it up Saturday. Cant wait to get back to it. The guy that bought it, his dad took the hydroboost and they left the engine exposed to the elements and rain, which sucks, but, we will see.

Im digging your Project. All function and over-built. This will be a very rugged and reliable vehicle and I like the Booby grill.
