Cold weather got me started……..finally!

It has a nice stance to it now. Now that I think
about it a nice fuel injection 302 will make a nice cruiser. A big block would literally guzzle gas and a Sunday cruise would cost you 50 bucks. Like B basstracker89 and I, we would have to beef up the engine but that all comes at a hefty price and before you know it you have 20 grand in the motor. Being able to go out and start the engine and go for a nice cruise without having to worry about octane requirements would be a nice change. Just get the eye appeal stuff done and just enjoy the truck for what it is.

But, but he could really tow somethin with a big block. And burn outs, OMG!! G- force, go baby go!!! Hit a lick......yea!!! Nothin like getting the blood pumpin......

I drove it Mad Max style to get some break in miles. Went to the paint shop and my appointment is in 4-5 weeks. Put 65 miles on it so far and it’s been AWESOME, especially with the cooler weather. Feels good to know all this work is finally shaping up!

It’s called Toyota Solar Octane. Blacked out accents, tinted windows and black wheels. Grill will be partially blacked out. Just like when I brought it home like this.

My wife’s hair is reddish orange (strawberry blond) so this will always be associated with her. She likes RUSH, so there will be some RUSH paraphernalia on her somewhere. Need to keep the family interested!!

It’s been a great journey to watch.
As a master mechanic, I am impressed on the work you have done on this…..I have watched from beginning to now and I think you have been doing a great job !! You will have a great vehicle when done….and something that you can be really proud about.
As I have said over and over……good job !!
