Hey guys. Hope you are all in good health and drama free
Took a new job and I am going for my masters. Wife is still cancer free and my kid is 12 and doing well in school. I'd say I am blessed but broke. Time to upgrade the job soon. Hopefully find a new place in a rust free zone where I can make some project car money and pay off my student loan of $20k
When I sold my slick it wasn't because of reliability issues or practicality, it was because the steering and handling were so terrible.
I didn't really want to do the Vic cradle at the time (I would now though). After seeing this truck above and owning a P71 I am reconsidering cutting up an a truck to make it handle and feel safe. Imagine a truck like this you could autocross and have an airbag steering wheel for safety. All the featured of a Vic with the practicality and aesthetic of the truck. I'd probably gut the dash and find a way NOT to use the Vic plastic dash surround. VIc dashes are hideous. I'd say this is a daydream project but maybe a fun one to consider.
Here's my 04 Vic from SC. 150k miles
All new front suspension, 07 GT premium wheels, Nitto 555s, I added a Continental console and floor shifter and deleted the column shifter.
It needs more work but I gotta finish school 1st.
