WAIT… you are ragging my Prius and you have a Fiesta!!! lol!!! this is GOOD!!!My Fiesta gets that on ethanol free gas, it's still a clown car but at least it ain't a Ptius!
Been a while since I’ve owned an American v8 gasser. And along comes a buddy with an 05 Silverado with the L33 5.3. Apparently it’s been massaged and has 89K on the clock. Hmmm…My wife's Altima is bad enough. I'd rather drive my 98 Silverado that gets maybe 20 miles per gallon with it's axle twistin, spring bendin 5.7 V-8 that's not exactly stock.
I still have my Honda S2000 on blocks! just waiting for the right moment … gas mileage… who cares!!I really need to get my 59 Desoto running again, 383, push button trans, 24 MPG on the highway.

I miss my 2004 F150 with the smaller motor. That bad boy was a TANK! transmission was SOLID. Simple & ReliableThat's a good engine. It has a little more HP than a stock 5.7 L. Mine has 260K on the clock and is still going strong. It will scorch the hell out of the tires in second gear if you shift it manually. My only complaint is it's not a 5 speed. Oh and when it's quiet out you can hear it coming for five miles.
I love it ... and check out all the extra belt holes (if you need them) ...what you guys thing about this???
my current colts is 7 1/2 and I want to wear them all day; in my Prius horse, walking to the backyard BBQ, poping a few at deer camp. these look very COMFORTABLE

disclaimer….. I have not used them yet but all the old timers here say they are qualityI love it ... and check out all the extra belt holes (if you need them) ...
I would be happy with a one gun rig ... that's a nice one !
By the way can you post a link to this company , the prices just might be in my reach and I would like to see what else they got . I have a Ruger Wrangler and a Ruger Blackhawk that need / want new leather for . Thanks !

I agree that they will be making the custom orders in-house, that’s why the price will be up there and the wait time will be up there too!Ryan runs it now. They may outsource the production stuff that you can order from Midway but if you custom order it from the website, it's going to come from the shop in El Paso.
Gas ain't cheap but I decided that life is too short for anything but an 8mpg big block Chevy.

There’s nothing like the sound of a big V8 or a 45 degree single pin Vtwin…That's a good engine. It has a little more HP than a stock 5.7 L. Mine has 260K on the clock and is still going strong.

I know you old timers love the old stuff. But the sound or a SRT Hell Cat! YES!!!There’s nothing like the sound of a big V8 or a 45 degree single pin Vtwin…
The Hellcat IS the "old stuff".I know you old timers love the old stuff. But the sound or a SRT Hell Cat! YES!!!
Blowers = 7 1/2 Colt dual wheeling
Like I said, 12-14wks is not bad and it will probably be shorter than that. I know of one maker that is well over a year. Plus their prices are very competitive. You can pay as much for off the shelf crap that's half as good.I agree that they will be making the custom orders in-house, that’s why the price will be up there and the wait time will be up there too!
8MPG??? you got a blower in that thing?
8.1 litter Gasoline engine!!! MERICA!!The Hellcat IS the "old stuff".
8.1 liter big block that sucks gas like it's free. It also chugs up a grade at 1800rpm while pulling a trailer.
Without the $400 Cummins oil changes or the potential of losing a $20,000 injection pump. Plus, I can fix it.

in that case… $700 is nothing!!Think of it as a lifetime investment.
