look what followed me home!

[Torch]

the designer for this build is my 9 year old son, whose main requirement was dual wheels on the rear.... so, duals it shall have[cl

Yeah but c'mon give us the rest... when I was 9 the drawed up hotrods had machine gun turrets and escape hatches and wings that popped out of the sides and rocket engines and r2d2 units and cookie compartments and comic book holders and soda fountains and... it can't be just duals i'd bet it was like a doouble dooleys 4 tires wide out back how cool is that!

 

[hotrod preacher]

well, torchmann, he only wanted duals, and stacks...lol but that has already changed! (remember 9, when u changed ur mind more than your underwear?) now he wants wide slicks on back (he saw a pic of some "bonehead's" truck with huge rear tires...

gona start a build thread as soon as i get all parts to the shop...

excited to do a build wit' da boy!

That sure is an ugly truck. I better bring MY empty trailer down and take it off your hands for you

That's cool man... I love my dad but he doesn't get into projects with me and my brothers. He's burned out on cars... sob
Maybe he thinks it's time to take his fathers place and hurrumph our rides like his dad did his. man I can't even get him to go for a ride.
