Since the completion of this truck it has been mainly a show rod but with a little dialing in it can be fully streetable.When Ihave driven it on the road it gets a little hairy when the converter kicks in. I also have the factory vin plate. Its not attached to the truck and it has never been registered in my name. I have only driven it on a dealers plate. The side window mechanisms are not installed. It took me a while to locate a pair after the truck was already being shown and I never got the chance to install them. Side glass would have to be made also. I'm sure there are some details I have left out. Please feel free to call me with any questions. (203)924-4896. There are a ton of pics on my Facebook page. Iwill give that info out when you call. Vehicle is sold with a bill of sale ONLY.
