    You say that like it's an everyday occurrence for you!!!! :p

    I often think similar thoughts but a) don't have the skill to do it, b) don't have access to the machinery and c) don't have the skill to do it!! :)

    Love this build man. A drift-truck build is my dream. Even though I have an E36, something about a drift truck is just awesome. Awesome fab work, keep it up!
