[brandonloserkid]

im happy too anounce that I should be getting all my equipment within the next few weeks. It was gonna take a hell of a lot longer, but my boss wants my truck to be done for the May 1st show. because so far im the only one on the team without a florida state record.. lol only because i started working their like.. 3 weeks ago. The updated equipment list is:

4 12" Autotek MX
Knu Konceptz Wiring
Knu Konceptz Cap
2 2100W Bostwick Amps running at 1ohm
4 Icon TV's
Icon DVD player
PS2 (thanks to expo5.0's explanation )
interior wont come for another year
paint wont come for another 2-3 months
20" i dont think will come till a month or so.. depending on Bryan.

I will start the pictures as soon as i get my equiptment together on the work bench

And do me just 1 small favor. When you are writing all of this up, please don't use bad language. It really hurts these old tired eyes. I don't mind reading all of this "dream", but do you really have to use the bad language to get your point across?

 

[brandonloserkid]

are you talking about because i said sh*t? I didn't exactly use it to get my point across, but if you think it's inappropriate, I'll adhere to my elders (lol sorry I had too)

and i told you its not a dream

It was gonna take a hell of a lot longer, but my boss wants my truck to be done for the May 1st show.

Yea, that is two weeks away...................that is officially a dream.

Or do you mean 5/1/05?

 

[brandonloserkid]

how is it an offiicial dream when we have store rooms full of all the equipment im going to be using? It just a matter of working out either payments, or whatever she is going to do. I am probably gonna throw in a quick box for the competition, like the 4 15" box (depending on the work we have lined up till the show) the HU, the wiring and cap i get for free anyway.

 

[brandonloserkid]

also you think i cant wire a truck in 2 weeks? we do 2(sometimes 3) complete installs in a day. 2 pairs of components, cd player, sub, 2 amps, all wiring, and sometimes custom abs installs etc etc Id be able to do my truck in my garage at home and be done in like 2-3hours

 

[XplorerKid]

[brandonloserkid]

Your gonna do all this in your garage in 2-3 hours?

[BBQ_HotDogs]

Hey this truck should be finished by now. We are ready for some pics now.

[hydroxy]

hey man... whats up w/ the install?

and on a side note... yea, the 2 weeks deadline is pretty hard to believe w/ out some actual photos(look at BBQ's post ) - but deep down everyone is just jealous Well maybe not the crazy few who have billions already invested in their x... but most of us would like to have your list of equip.

And I think too many people post up what they're planning on doing and never accomplish anything. ie. the typical ricer who is always talking about that ever nearing engine swap, or when exactly he is going to that the primered body kit painted once he gets a lil more money.

Unless of course you're expo and you're just one crazy mother f@#$er and actually do all the crazy stuff they talk about

 

[expo5.0]

hydroxy- he doesn't own the equipment and unless he wants to mortgage the rest of his life and become an indentured servant to that shop he won't have it for at least a year or two.

 

[dreamr]

Oh now be nice to the kid He very well may surprise you with what happens. Besides how many of us have dumped a couple to five grand on our trucks in a short amount of time??? Heck I am just getting started, and am in a couple grand already.

I guess the difference, is I have no set outcome that I am advertising, and his electronics list is worth quite a bit more than my mods. But you never know what may happen.

 

[expo5.0]

i don't care how good the shop is they can't make a show truck thats worthy for an employee (after hours etc.) in less than a few months even.

 

[hydroxy]

lol I never dissed him.. I just told him to get tons of pictures. But anyways - I want to know how it is going... is that such a crime?

OK, this should be rocking by now. I can't beleive I have been waiting since January for my stuff to get in and I have already paid. This is only a few days away. Please, share some pics with us. You said in a post earlier you already had the truck stripped and installing liner. Can we see some of those? Please, please?
