These are pictures of my LUV in it's various stages throughout the past 14 years. My dad gave me the truck when I was 17 years old. He bought the truck new in 1976. I still have the original bill of sale from Chadbourne Chevrolet for $4128.00 on 9/30/76! His payments were $94.38 a month! Wow, if only you could go back in time huh? I'd buy a couple more.
Here's what started my career as a speed demon.
Some pictures of my LUV shortly after I got it.
Here are some shots of the first V-8 transplant in the fall of 1989. Soon after I graduated high school I began the transformation process.
I don't have any pictures of the second motor, but here are a couple shots of the 3rd motor.
Here are some pictures of the current motor. These are very close to what the truck looks like today. Soon, I plan to repair some cosmetic damage that has been done from the weather. Then, it's off to the paint shop.
Some shots taken on a day of racing at Pomona Drag Strip back in Mar99.
