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.

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…

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. 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.:D

I 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 !

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. :p

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?

There’s nothing like the sound of a big V8 or a 45 degree single pin Vtwin… :thumbup:

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

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.

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’m going to get a El Paso in shop rig! Just want to make sure it’s the right one.

fast draw 5” guns or show piece for my 7.5” Pimp guns

I might go with the fast draw 5.5” holsters and get separate 7.5” holster. 1 belt and 4 holster = $700! ouch

but tell you what, if I find a Colt or a pair of Commemorative 5” Colt SAA Gen 2 for what I bought the 7” for… I’m buying them quick!!
