Yesterday I got some bad news. My truck is not going to be the fastest thing in the school parking lot this coming year I have been foiled by a 5.3 swapped in a fox body mustang (ick). I'm a little disappointed but I don't have the money to dump in to get the motor up to the 500-600 hp range. But she is gonna be able to pull and do wicked burnouts. So thats okay then

Trust me I've thought about it. It is a Mustang with an LS (even worse). Well at lease I can do bigger burnouts and tow bigger things

- MY DOOR IS COMPLETE!

Causality of the past three days


The black has been redone on the dash


I wish there was something I could tell you guys how to do it. But all I can think of is 1. Grab the rattlecan
2. Aim
3. Push the top

Overall i think I have about 3 cans emptied in the truck and half on the little stuff. And i will have about another 1 can on the dash, justin case any of you guys were wondering

Well she doesn't have to be my daily until August 14th so that saves my butt a bit. And "time" is an illusion. On days like today I get up at 5, head to school by 7, get home, work till I'm tired, eat, go back out and work, then study, and finally hit the hay between 12-1. Its just how you use it

No progress till at least Monday. I have been fundraising for my competitions in Orlando this summer. I've put in two 10 hour days and two 13 hour days at school. Friday I might paint a steering column, but right now it is looking bleak at best. Thanks for hanging in with me guys

I'm in a rock and a hard place trying to figure out if I should complete the truck. I don't want to sick a ton of money in it and have it sold out from under me, but then again it's my baby and it doesn't seem right to leave her like this. Decisions decisions.
