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!

thanks brutha
I have 3 mags set up for "shoots" .. cover would be cool , never thought of that
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

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!
