thanks everyone! yes my buddy is talented for sure, I am lucky to have had him build this for me. Unfortunately yes, many people are always looking for the cheapest route, especially when it comes to these trucks since they can be had for so cheap (in comparison to the majority of vehicles people modify). I am trying to disregard that and put as much attention into this build as I would a chassis that was 10x the cost. It can have me skeptical at times, but overall I'm pretty happy with where it's headed. At least I often tell myself that haha
