Guys, I'm sorry to clutter up the forum, but THIS is awesome/hilarious...

(Just wish I'd thought of it myself...)

Ive been in on that thread over there...

BY FAR one of my favorite swaps/builds. I wish he would have done a build thread so we could have joined in on the project.

It also didnt do too bad on the track. 14.xx something or other. Not bad for such a heavy boat and only a stock 5.3.

I still think he should spray paint "HONKEY LIPS" on the rear quarter. haha.

if it's the same guy, there is a build up thread on a family truckster on a wagon forum....I found it one time looking for malibu wagon pictures, maybe 3-4 months ago, but I can't remember what is was called...the site...maybe search for a full size wagon forum? I'll see if I can find it....
