Lining-up for picture time - this took about an hour to park all these vehicles.

Sunday's weather turned-out just beautiful - my fiance and I went to see the National World War I Museum, if you like spending time being a 'tourist' we definitely recommend it -

Nice pics. You didn't get any close-ups of the fastest truck there. Oh well, I will be back next year :)

:( Sorry - I really didn't take many pictures because of the weather, normally I take tons of snaps. Seriously next time we meet-up, maybe next time I come to KS this summer, we'll definitely do a show-n-shine. :thumbs: IF we had been able to USE the track I would have for sure gotten the fastest SS on video!

Nice pictures! 2BFAST...breathtaking underhood shots, nice work!

I have to add - Brian's truck is special. I've seen my share of show rides, and I was completely prepared and ready for lots of bling when he was raising the hood. But still, I gotta say I literally gasped when the hood was raised, pictures do not hit you with the same gutteral impact you get when that hood first comes up. And I've only experienced that with a couple of vehicles I've seen. My favorite part though is the interior. I really think Brian's effort has a real future as a feature vehicle. Brian and Dan's efforts really show.

Like I said, theres always next year. She isn't as photogenic without sunlight....But be ready for tens next year.

:D So you're saying I'm gonna need the really super-fast-action zoom lens then?! :thumbs: Can't be getting any blurry shots of the fastest SS in action LOL.

EXACTLY. Probably should just buy an old government space satellite for its wide zoom capabilities

Ahhh yeah - like the cameras they use to film the space shuttle launches. GOTCHA!! :laugh:

 

Seriously this winter I am hoping to add a good zoom lens to the Nikon. It's on my Xmax list! so you gotta help me out and put in a good word for me with Santa!

man my motor looks ugly.....

Naahhhh - I like your truck, to my eye yours was most hardcore/real racer; your truck has a kind of 'honest integrity' to it. Next time you have a free afternoon just remove the ripped firewall pad, pressure wash the dust off, and loom a couple stray wires. :cool:

Really nice pictures mr p. Brian must say incredible work and i agree definately a feature piece. Hopefully i can make it to next years nats

 

Thanks guys, means a lot. As you can see there was a lot of time and effort put into what it is now. Iv said it before many times, I cant thank Dan enough for his time and effort in helping with the project. Came up with a lot of great ideas and suggestions. Thanks buddy. Also Greg (Shadetree) and Ben (kckid) as they put time into the interior and wiring as well! :cheers:

 

:thumbs:

 

EDIT: Forgot to mention. Another thanks to Craig (DEISS) for taking time out of his schedule and trailering my truck over 6 hours round trip to KC to for meet. Even though he isnt as active as most of us on the forum, trailer aside, hes a hell of a guy and a good friend at that.
