Then It just snowballed.Now my plans are to build a truck that is capable of being raced and driven on the street once in a while.

Here is a list of some of the parts I have bought over 2yrs.for the truck.
trailer products updated glass 88-98 to 04
desertspecialties 2.5 front hubs
king 3.0 race series bypasses
king 2.5 race series coilovers
king bumpstops
ron davis radiator

The truck will have a j-arm front suspension, full cage,4 link rear . All chromoly

The drivetrain will be a 430 small block chevy, th400 and a desert specialties full floating 9in.

All fabwork by matt walrath

I took the truck apart about 4 months ago and there has already been some progress

Fawk! That guy does such amazing work. Does he just do this work on the side?

Right on, that guys' craftsmenship is amazing.

Damn Matt's been busy, I remember a year ago when you dropped the truck off. Isn't it going to have a bad ass motor?

sick!

Walrath is a bad motherfucker.

No thats how you build a Sick10.

Fuck Me no edit.....

Now thats how you build a Sick10.

that would be true if it was an s10, it's a fullsize.

yeah all this work is side work. matt works insane hours for gordon and has a 2 year wait list for his side projects

Just came home from matts house here are some recent pics

im going to have nightmares now. that things fucking so bad ass its scary. makes me want to sale a kiddney on the black market so i can afford something of that caliber.

Matt has his own shop MW Designs and dose have a VERY LONG waiting list, but he no longer works for Robby he got sick of his shit and quit the day they got back from Dakar last year, along with a few of the other guys.
