i lost count building and redoing things there is no telling
What was the inspiration?
i grew up loving low riders and mini trucks and knew i had to have one. going to pigeon forge back in the day just fueled the fire for me.
How long did it take you to build?
well i had the truck about 20 years and have constantly upgraded things on the truck. i still have afew things to do so i guess as they say is it ever really finished.

Your future plans?
