I feel like Cartman waiting for the Wii to come out!
"Come on, Come ON!"

Slacker, your inspirational project is driving us all nuts!
At the same time, I'm glad to hear that your not shortcutting on ANYTHING.

Which magazine cover will you be going for?

I wish you had my time off and I had your talent!

it's got some mag shoots .. and some shows i'm commited to .. and from there , it's just going to be sitting in the showroom and going to shows .. it's a Trekker , I would never "pound" it , but i will drive it for sure ...

it is for sale for sure , but only to the right buyer

Damn Slacker!

Just got out of Air Force boot camp, so today was the first day I've been able to get on a computer. What was the first thing I did? Email my family? Get on facebook? Hell, did I watch pron? No....I went to yotatech and caught up on slackers build. Looks amazing as usual man, keep up the awesome work.

This my first post on here. I've got to say this is outstanding. I'm inspired to do work on my rusty '90 truck. I really like everything that you've done so far. Hurry up those paint guys I can't wait to see the finished product!

thanks guys .. but you gotta be patient , and remember , this is NOT a roll on paint job !!! . The paint on this Trekker is going to cost a few pennies --12G's-- (and this is a deal ) .. so there is lots of blocking and meny meny hours to get this thing bullit straight and perfect ..

Slacker at the end of the day we dont care about the 12g's. I know you love your truck but how much is it worth if you just sit there and look at it? You need to pass it down to your grandkids or put it through the rough. Our first gens aint made it to barret jackson yet and we may never get there. (Were not gonna get there) so build em up and let our kids Try to Destroy them. My kids favorite truck has a rusted bed, square headlights, and alot of memory's of us camping on the horsepasture river. Just something you cant take away!
