Hi, I'm Avery. I'm aarons428's daughter, and y'all probably know me or have heard of me. I am the girl that is building her own slick. Right now, my truck is still in the process of finishing it, but hopefully it gets finished soon. My 428 engine that my dad had in his '65 is almost finished. My truck will be a Ford f600 on a f100 chassis. It will not have a turbo in it or any other fancy stuff. If you have a problem with that talk to my dad. If you want to follow the process you can go on the builds page and you can find my name on there. I can probably answer most questions by myself, but I might have my dad's help.

I am hoping to have my truck up and running by then. I guess I can start that tradition with my own truck.
