Sykness225 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hey guys im new to the forum so i figured i would post my build up. Well the build started off with a truck i got in a trade and quickly went south. A guy i thought was a friend owed me some money so agreed to bag the rear of it for me. He had a reputation for doing good work which i quickly found out was self fabricated. Needless to say (check the pics) he destroyed the back of my truck. A good friend of mine that is a third generation hot rod builder agreed to lend me his facilities and help to get the truck where it needs to be. Without further ado, here are the pics. my beautiful singer allternator Custom built compressors my buddy from Viair built for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
