A little update...Madman got the wheel tubs done, the shifter mounted and some other small things. I'm guessing I'll be able to go get it next week. Also, I had him throw it on the scales just to see where we're at. With the complete driveline in it and some interior stuff it , I think he told me 3115lbs.

Thanks for the info. May have to do something about that. I have a set going into my truck build, will be driven quiet a bit on the street also. Guess stretch breaks may be needed! lol

It'll probably be closer to 3800#'s when finished. I need to go on a diet.

Flaco's trucks where always so fast cause he probably only weighs about 130. I got 110# on him. lol

So now that it's a full blown ra ra racetruck, when does the gear drive take the place of the belt? LOL

Don't mistake, it's 3115 without several things. It'll be closer to 3800 ready to run.

Thanks for the comments.
