    It'll be interesting to see where this one goes.

              Boom.

              That's why it's not working for me.

              Make it look less BMW and more domestic. Or make it look more like a Dixi.

                He's not trying to have it look like a cookie cutter hot rod, it's supposed to be a blending of styles he's into. If he was to spend the money to make it look like an old American V8, why wouldn't he just put an old American V8 in it?

                  Looks cool. We need more unique builds like this, keeps things interesting.

                  With the current state of things, I don't bother going to many car shows anymore... It's all the same thing.

                  Oh, and considering Rusty Slammington, I gotta give props. Another car, portraying the personality of the owner. Isn't that what this is all about? I can't comment much, as I have never met Mr. Burroughs, but there is definitely a strong link between this and the last.

                  But.... Rusty Slammington had a 1jz didn't he?

                  I can agree to a point, you need to keep fuel injection in a fuel injected car though....

                    Interesting idea.

                    Is the engine meant to stand out or do you plan on making it blend in a little more?

                      A for effort and direction of the build. I saw this truck and almost fell out when I saw the m60 in there. I like the "genuine"ness of this build. I can definitely appreciate the "as is" finish to the body and wouldn't want to rock that truck with a fresh coat of paint, maybe some clear...maybe. I'm a fan of hotrods and ratrobs, and I just dig this for it's uniqueness.

                            Loving the kill switch on the outside, I would turn it off at a red light on him. Such is the ways of motorcycle owners that ride together.

                                Wow, it looks so much better in real pictures versus the Instagram ones.

                                I think it's awesome as-is. All it needs is a wire tuck sorta thing.
