Like I said before, there's still some minor details that I still need to take care of....but the major things are done!

You "really" have a nice truck and thank you for taking care of it. We need to preserve these 1st Generation trucks as they will never be produced again.

I agree. I think people should restore them instead of chopping them up and making them extreme offroaders, but that's just me.

or at least use metal from the junk yard instead of chopping up the nice factory skins!

You are allowed to chop one up as long as you at least restore another
I have retained 99.9% of my truck's sheet metal and it crawls all the top trails.. they don't have to be chopped to work well.
What I dislike is the punks who get them just to destroy them! Use a Nissan for that lol!

Currently fabing a four link rear...
