The title of this thread should be "The Ship of Theseus". Wow is it really a nissan after all this?

You have dedication, and more importantly passion. Keep up your focus and do what you love to do!

I've considered it. I would love to. But nowadays it seems like its more about who you know and how you can get the door opened to you. That's not to say I won't try anything.
Put this on youtube. Get their attention man. That is how you open doors.

this past weekend was the maiden voyage for the beast, and man it surpassed my expectations big time. not a single problem all day.



the truck seemed to be a crowd favorite which was awesome.




felt so good to be out finally doing what i love. and the truck just worked flawlessly


i had never felt a sense of accomplishment like i did after my first lap. i was at a loss for words and i probably looked like a 10 year old kid on christmas morning.


only casualty was a flare popped off, and one of my idler pulleys is going bad i think.


and heres a video of the majority of the day, sorry for lack of footage. dead go-pro and friends that cannot operate a camera that isn't on their phone…….
