PROJECT bottle baby 68 short wide. part deux.

ok guys heres the deal i posted this up in a build thread in another sub category i guess you would call it and where i posted it up the guys just are not into what im doing. so im reposting the thread here in hopes of getting a little more feedback on the whole set up and just support in general.

well guys uncle sam said i could come home. so what better way to spend my off time then to work on my true love. im not building a 100k riddlers truck. im building a street ruler, strip contender haha. im 22 years old and everything i have done to this truck i have done my self and im always excited to learn and feel the final results any input that my fellow TRUXERS have is always appreciated.
