Whats that sound? 600HP!

Today was the day we've all been waiting for.. well ok, it was one of the big days we've all been waiting for.. Today we fired up Thunderpig!!!! And it was awesome!!



The video camera didn't capture the sound of the engine as well as I had hoped but it's still pretty awesome.. :-)

This was my reaction after hearing the truck fired up for the first time since it was built!

The kids were pretty scared at how loud it was when it started (But after we started it the second time Logan wanted to see what all the noise was all about..)

This is the temporary setup used to fire up the truck.. manual gauges helped fine tune the engine. Later the wires will be run and the dash gauges will be permanently installed.

Check this photo out.. Zach's frown is absolutely priceless.. He doesn't like loud noises and after hearing the truck started twice he wasn't about to let us start it up again! Better get used to it Zach. Daddy's gonna be firing the truck up every chance he can get when this baby's finished! :)

Here are a few of the next big days we're looking forward to! Stay tuned

  • Start the truck up - Checkaroo!!
  • Finish the bed modifications - Next 2-3 weeks
  • Get the truck painted - Its already 1/2 way there! (next is to paint the bed and add flames!)
  • Drive the truck home - Hopefully about a month or so from now!
  • Finish the interior (seats, carpet, panels, and stereo)
