Hello All,
I'm not a mechanic, but I like to tinker; I fix practically everything around the house. I've always been curious about how things worked, so when something breaks I like to take it apart and see if I can fix it. I fly big jets by trade and I wasn't sure if I could build a car...who does that??? But I went to the build school and didn't see anything that scared me so I ordered the truck, engine and trans in May; they should be delivered in July. Looks like fun...can't wait!
I'm in Viera (near Melbourne/Cape Canaveral).
Learning a lot from the forum..great resource!

Keep us posted as your build progresses. I’m on the other side of the state north of Tampa and I’m planning to build a truck myself. I already have a engine (408 Cleveland), I just need to find the funds for everything else.
Good luck

The wait is enough time to build a little anxiety but I'm using the time to organize my shop before delivery
I plan to keep an updated post.
Thanks for the welcome!
