Cant wait to get back into a turbo car(or truck i guess this time). I'm not sure what to call this, its going to be rat rod-ish but wont fit the traditional rat rod definition.

Right now there are only rough ideas of where I want this to go... 5.3L from a newer Silverado Blow-thru carb s400 75mm 5 speed Suspension is still yet to be decided, but looking at 8.8 rear and mustang 2 front, but we'll see. Definitely going for road driven, road course oriented here. Want to get something upgradable later down the road and I remember all the parts for the mustang 8.8 from my Fox Turbo days. There will most definitely be body and frame modifications going to happen, probably going to section it...maybe a chop. Frame needs to be beefed up, roll bar and just general frame/body stiffening. However, there wont be new paint...lol

So, turned out the original 46 Chevy truck we were going to pick up didnt have a title... so we continued on looking and ended up finding a guy about 3.5hrs away with half a dozen trucks. Went down there yesterday and brought one back, a 1952 Chevy truck.
