[QUOTE="Stretch, post: 199168, member: 412"] Been building this thing since July '10. Picked it up for $400 out of a parking lot. Some kid had bought it for $2700 3 years before and let it sit in his apartment complex parking lot. A little timeline to where it is now. Looking back...I mangled a really clean truck. booyang :drinkers: Brought it home, cleaned it up and sold the 33" ThornTurds in favor of some 36" Iroks.
