If anyone was interested. This is a Griffin. It is half Eagle and half Lyon. We thought it would be great for the name because of the half Cherokee and half Truck. Also it can fly or run and the Cherokee is gonna be painted like a WWII Bomber Plane and will go anywhere. I think we came up with a pretty good name. What do you all think

How it flies depends on what you do to that 4.7

It may not fly but it will sure look like it. LOL! Back-end is all pretty well finished on the body mods. bout time to turn the inner-fenders inside out to allow for more clearance like the old hot-rods used to do, build the front flares, build a custom grill, and steel front bumper.

It's gotta be different and I don't want to stick the plastic grill back in.

Heck it will be painted for 8:00 PM this evening. Nah, Just kidding. LOL! Slow and steady wins the race. To many projects going at once for both me and the Bro-N-Law. And ball season is here. Son is in Baseball and I play in a Softball league.
