I was born at the race track... Thanks Mom and Dad!
wouldn't know who to thank since I've had the bug all my life. Probably thanks to my POS dad who raced dirt roundy-round cars and never paid attention to us, rarely paid child support and got his dumb ass killed while walking home from the drunk tank. Thanks, Dad. Started on the performance truck mods with a 93 Corvette engine into my 92 ECSB C1500 in 1995. :)
Thank you dad for putting the first wrench I ever held into my hands, thank you mom for supporting me with what ever I wanted to do in your garage and thank you to Mike Renalds as before you set me on the proper way I was big into Honda and Toyota performance
I guess I'd have to say Garrisson got me here... but I already had the 69 built long before that. So really my Dad got me into building/modifying, even though he doesn't know a thing about it. One day he just decided it'd be a cool project to sit back and watch me do.
I couldn't thank the people here enough though... some of you guys are like family to me.
I was always into cars from the time I was little. My dad wasn't ever a big car guy, his boss however was and I think that's where I picked it up from.
I found this site after searching literally "ls1 truck". I was talkig with my cousin about swapping an ls1 into my truck and was doing research. It's all yalls fault that I have gotten the crazy mod bug. I have done every mod my truck currently has thanks to all y'all. :thumb:
And like Justin said...some of you are like family. :melissa:
Thank you to Damn Yankee for getting me off that other lame site, you got me headed in the right direction with mods. :)
I'd have to say that one of the guys who used to be on here a lot (NITROUS) got me interested when he pulled into the Sonic I was working at back in the day. He had a Vette engine in his silverado and that's what got my wheels turning. I never had the time/money to do anything major with my truck, But after I get the new one and sell my old truck, I should be able to get the new truck boosted.
thanks to Tory(not a member) i bought my 1st truck and went to the track that night, he amazed me at what a truck could do and he helped me get started, along the way i met a few guys from the DFW area and later on met Virgil. a few years later found this site, and Moze's truck was a big inspiration to me. thanks to everybody on here that has helped me along the way.
Appreciate you guys for your answers, suggestions, opinions, and of course criticism! Being 6'5" 330lbs. I pretty much dont fit into cars anymore, so trucks is my thing now. I been turning wrenches for a while now and still get the anxiety and joy out of modding a vehicle. Plus its a good hobby to avoid getting into trouble. For future reference I will have many more questions and again, Thx!!
Billy sure is an awesome guy. I got my entire setup from him.....Turbo, fuel system, gauges and all. When my friends and I were installing it all, he always picked up his phone and answered all my "installation questions". Thanks Billy......and thanks to Moze for the stickersQuote:
