once Uncle Rob gets finished, I go um get the old '93, Uncle George is his name, and I'm probably going to road trip that back to Texas and get started on it hopefully within the next few weeks here. So, that's kind of the recap on my personal vehicles. Another one you're going to be seeing on here, this red black and red truck I mentioned before, is uh Ashton's. He's a tech here at Triple 7. It's a turbo truck. It's going to be doing some cool stuff, too. Uh it's got a 480 in it right now that um blew up. We sent it to the moon in the name of science. And he just got a 5.3 for it. I think he's going to open it up, you know, gap the rings, some stuff like that, and now it's got like a school bus 4L85 in it. Really, really basic. It's pretty much the same formula that Uncle Rob is. So, these two are going to be be some GMC companions there. Got to pull the motor, get the converter out, and take it to the converter place so they can like bend the fins or whatever and bump it up a little bit cuz like he doesn't even
