Not only is it big, you should hear it turn over ! That and the overall design - well, let's say Bruce did not design this truck be a wallflower. Five hundred hp on the motor, seven hundred on the bottle with the capacity for 120psi on twin turbos? This thing is a beast and you did not get the delight of hearing the four train horns on this sucker :)

It was an honor to work with my fellow AG geeks today, and Bruce and his wife were more than nice to us, keeping us feed and watered. It was nice to do this today for a really nice guy ....
 
Awesome guys, another reason I think this is the best detailing forum to date. Love seeing threads like this with everyone pitching in and having a huge turn around.
 
Fine examples of the American spirit, helping out a fellow man, as well as prime examples of the quality of people on this great forum of ours. :dblthumb2:
 
Awesome job guys! :dblthumb2: :goodjob2:

Love the Autogeek banner hanging on the house! :props:
 
Man I wanna' hear those horns. :laughing:

Great job guys. :grouphug: Looks like y'all had a full day for sure. Lot of work and a short time to get there.

I know you all busted your tails! (Please don't take this as complaining, far from it guys) If there was time, I'd love to have see those alloys nice and polished. Then again, Bruce can get to um', while spending some quality time with his 'new ride'. Easy enough to grab a soft seat and just sit there working nice and slow. :)

I'm a bit weird sometimes (as anyone that knows me will tell ya'). :rolleyes: And doing the Alcoa polishing thing is something I used to really enjoy. I'd take a day off sometimes and just polish the wheels on my rig. Nothing like seeing them go from clean, to a mirror finish right before your eyes. Wish I could remember what I used to seal them with, but there was a spray sealant I got from a World of Wheels show and another one from a Towing Show that you sprayed on bare metal after polishing and it would both seal them, and make them feel like they were waxed. It was likely a polymer coating I'm sure, and it'd flash as soon as you sprayed it and started to wipe it. (As well as take your breath!) Would leave Alcoa wheels slick as greased owl snot on a hot tin roof, and water repellent as well.

Did you say it's tuned to 500hp and 700 on the bottle? HOLY $HIT!!!
I'd love to hear a little about what all has been done to the engine.
:dblthumb2:
I want to drive that puppy.... betcha' it'll smoke um' on demand. (Not to mention seriously embarrass a few Mustang and Camaro fanboys. :righton:

I'm just in awe of you all.... you guys went above and beyond! Congrats to you all. :) :cheers:
