The new leaf springs were just shipped out today from backorder and the turbo has yet to go out so it won't be done until after I have left for London. This means that it will most likely be Nov. 8-15 or so until I can get him back.

Believe me, no one is more angry than I am about not being able to see Optimus all done. If I receive pics via e-mail on my trip I will post them just for my DTR buddies!!!

Sorry for the bad news!

 

wiggs truck is awsome but being a semi driver that w900 is the baddest do you use it or just show it. like alittle more info on it sometime.

 

I haven't acquired it yet; just a future project. I figured once we move from COlumbus I would start on it. I may just do a crazy W900 pickup but that's a whole other story! LOL

I will keep you posted!!

 

THere was a guy in Idaho that built a Pete into a pickup. Took the cab and nose and placed it on a 1 ton dually chassis. It was an old needle nose w/ butterfly hood. Looked killer!

Can't wait to see pics of the truck D!

Have a blast on your trip and God Speed!

 

Great News!!!

I pick up Optimus tomorrow afternoon!!!

He is not quite done. I still have to have the fender flares fully re-fiberglassed and painted to not only provide propper clearance for the new tires, but I am also going to have them extended so that they fully cover the rear tires!

The suspension went on nicely, but the huge wheels and tires proved to be more challenging hence the delays! Lots of bracket changing, grinding, and cutting went down to get them in.
The changes that have occurred are:
-New Suspension
-Wheels/Tires
-New Projector Headlights
-New Helix 2 Cam
-Re-hooked the factory fuel pump to help get the last bits of fuel from the tank to the GDP pump
-Camera added to trailer

Not sure what else but that's what happens after 50 days without the beast!

I will be posting pictures as soon as I get back!

I could post some teaser pics that the service manager took today, but since Optimus is filthy, it would ruin the surprise!

 

Ahhhh, your killing us. This thing is gonna be rediculous!!

 

Oh yes!! But if I did show you now; it wouldn't be as fun tomorrow!

 

oh come on post the pics of it!!

 

That's why they call it a "teaser"!

 

Tomorrow!!! Really? Im more excited about seeing Optimus, than I am my RA bumper that is suppsoed to be here tomorrow!

 

LOL! Well thank you, that's very kind. Yes I should be getting him in the early afternoon and should have pics up before 6pm EST.

 

well it's about friggin time!!!!!!

 

Are you going to be selling the old headlights? they are the blacked out SRT-10 one right?

 

Yes it is about friggin' time and yes I will be selling all of my "old" stuff!

 

Nice Wiggs, I cant wait to see the finished product. How was the wedding man? Hope is all went well!
