Star You will never see this again (Update 3)

Its been a while since i have posted any new pictures for you guys. Im still waiting on my dahm motor witch is slowing me down. For those that dont know what im doing here I took this truck down to the frame and sent everything i could out to get coated or i painted anything i could get my hands on of the truck. The motor is at 900hp and around 1300 ft pounds. Pete at South bend clutch GREAT GUY!! Seriously really helped me out with this clutch i needed for this thing and those guys really know there stuff overe there. you need a clutch go see those guys. I did this truck in inspiration of my late boss "Boyd Coddington" the man that has inspired us all in some shape or form. I named the truck Legend. I am going to be putting an old school cuda stipe down the side of the truck and in the rear of the quarter it will read "LEGEND". Trying to get something going for when i got to shows that will also be in memory of Boyd. Im in the process of trying to get stickers made up in memeory of him and if you buy a sticker every dollar paid will go towards the Make a wish foundation. Were still a little ways from that because the truck has to run and move in order to do this. I have contacted a ton of people apout getting some semi wheels for the truck but a beep dish for the rear and a mid set off set for the front. Looking to get like 24's but i am haveing no luck people keep telling me i cant do it. i would have to do a dual wheel convertion. If anybody might have any suggestions about the truck what i should do or and ideas im open to all considerations. Also if anyone knows about any semi wheels were i can make this thing look like an old cuda can you call me at (860)805-2200.

Tractor pullers cut wheels down and weld inserts in them all the time to fit wider tires and narrower ones for that matter. I got a buddy that as done several of these if you want me to check with him just send me the details of what you want to start with and what you want them to be when your done. He's in the middle of movin his shop a few towns over right now so he may take a little time but I'm sure if he can't do it right now he can send me to the right place to get it done.

I even posted on here last year or so to see if there was any interest in doing this for more of our trucks. We were gonna build a welder that would automatically turn the wheel and weld at the same time but didn't see enough interest to justify the cost.
