Awesome truck!!! Hopefully you find employment that fits your needs. I'm 16 years in the USCG and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
When God closes one door, He always opens a window!! Best of luck and ENJOY!!Its been a bit since an update, but alot has changed.
I resigned from my job in San Fran, it was too much for me and I ended up breaking my lease; all-in-all I came out even. I left that day and took hwy one to come down to LA. I got to see the dragon wagon, its in a storage facility in San Bernardino with the replacement T-case up in Running Springs. Besides the t-case, the truck was running good.
I was unemployed for about 4 hours until I got a call from my good friend that works at Robby Gordon motorsports. They wanted me to fly out instantly so I drove all the way back to Phoenix to drop off my Dakota and hopped on a plane. I now live in Charlotte NC, just crashing out of my friends couch and designing super cool "racecar baja parts". It is awesome to have access to a bad-ass water-jet and a great machinist for mill/turning ops.
They really like my skills out here so I am going to Baja for race support in a week, for a couple weeks; after that I dont have a plan. A good fab guy at the shop offered me a place to park the dragon wagon behind his shop if I can get it out here. It looks as if I may end up on the east coast, lots of Motorsports jobs and cheap land.
Looks like your parked on top of a Pinto!
Ha... Im thinking he used it as a jack stand, so he had more room to work under the truckLooks like your parked on top of a Pinto!

Here is one place I found.Great job Nick. Did you bring it back to Phoenix with you? Also what type of steps are those, and where did you buy them from?

Exactly! they had cameras at the front of the units too. I used the Chevy to conceal my actions and put the tires behind so nobody would see me under there. The lady at the front is super strict but I ended up making friends with the groundskeeper and he let me have some cool free harness/car parts from abandoned storage units "storage wars" style. I also jumped a couple other RV's when I was in there so the everyday people were cool with me. I told people that I was "replacing U-Joints" as "major mechanical work" on a vehicle inside self storage is "strictly prohibited" haha! The car is a first gen civic, I am just subleasing a buddys storage spot lol!Maybe using it as a "sight block" so he can't be viewed doing mech work on vehicle...appears tires and another vehicle might have been used also......
