I've been in Europe for a month so my truck hasn't really moved until today. I should have some minor updates in the coming month.

I injured my back almost two weeks who, so I haven't been able to do much of anything, let alone work on the trucks.

Activity here comes and goes.  I've only been picking away at small things on a couple of the trucks, so didn't really put anything up.  Guess I'll upload a bunch of pictures and make some noise.

you guys are terrible.
I've made just as much progress on my projects as I've seen on yours, and I don't even have a project and also snapped my achilles tendon so I can't even walk or drive yet

It's true. I'm a bit bored of the truck right now so I've started to ruin my firebird for a change - maybe I'll start a project thread just to keep my post count up!

I just about had the red blazer fired and running, when I blew a tire on the white one, had to put tires on it instead of the red one, then literally the day after I put new tires on it and swapped the rear end from the red on on for 3.08 instead of the 4.11 gears on it, the engine blew. Now I have to re-build the V6 that came out of the red truck to put in it.

Haven't been posting, but actually making progress on projects.  Well if you count buying another car and working on that too.  Isuzu is moving along to get out of the garage and sold.  It's just assembly at this point, so not much to document or share and I've been spending most of my spare time either working on the cars or researching solutions to my hurdles.

I love the first gen V's. It seems like they're forgotten about nowadays with the crazy ones that are coming out. It really looks good in silver.

That car makes me giggle so much. Just couldn't live without a powerful car any longer haha barely made it home from Boston with the crank pulley on, though. :/ Internet makes it out to be a common problem after the pulley is removed and reinstalled without proper care. I'm guessing they reused the crank bolt after having it off for the cam upgrade. A crank pin kit should be showing up this weekend and the new pulley will be going on, Monday. That should solve my mechanical woes and I can focus on farming out the cosmetic repairs and enjoying the power.

Either an autocross or track day would be more than a blast in the V, but I booked myself out with travel through half of October and committing myself to get the Isuzu back together in the rest of my spare time. If anyone knows of any worthwhile southern track days in November I could be tempted to make a road trip.

Keep searching Ryo. It wouldn'tr be right if I had the faster car with our history.

Everyone keeps asking me if it has the supercharger.  :-[
