This tread is named "Winter project"; now that winter is over, I think, you may want to rename it.

I wish! If I had the $$$$$$.......... The "local" tow service ( the only one within 100 miles) are real A holes. No customer service, just real nasty people. Had trouble with them when I had my tow service. Would love to stick it to them again. Cost them $90,000 the first year we added the tow trucks. They were not happy with me........

Morning John! We'll take the chassis outside today and bring the panel body out of storage. Can't put the body on till Tuesday because I need my gantry crane and my backhoe to lift it high enough. New backhoe tires won't be in till tomorrow afternoon. Should see a bunch of progress this week!

Very funny..........I guess The 2.8 I built for my Ranger must be pushing around 200hp in this guys world.

450hp out of a 302 is entirely possible.........If you have TONS of disposable income.
