li'l Big Rig

I was in Nashville yesterday on business and when my meetings were done, I went to visit a fellow Ford GT40 replica (DRB) owner I know there. Some time ago he showed me a project he was working on, but swore me to secrecy until he had completed it. In his backyard workshop he was about 90% done with styling a fiberglass Kenwood replica to be put on a Chevy truck chassis. Well its done now and he started marketing the truck shortly after the first of the year. It is a very cool way to go if you are into trucks! It is put on a '73 - '87 truck chassis, most of which have 350s or 305s, and utilizes many of the parts from the donor. Most of the trucks from this era, like most Chevy trucks, will have bodies so rusty that they will need a new body just for GP. So, this makes a great alternative.

He has the lil' Big Rig Web Site where you can check out the various kits: starter, upgrade an customizing. The tandem axle is an upgrade. He will also have his demo truck (seen above) at the Hunter Auto Expo in the Fairgrounds in Nashville March 12, 13, & 14, which is a huge automotive show that ESPN will be covering this year.

Thanks,
