Meaning Behind the Name
Named after my clothing line but also after we finished putting truck together to head to SEMA the truck was just bad ass. So we just stuck with the name Hard As Nails

Build Cost
I have a lot of great sponsors who helped me build my truck but to give figure of coat there is close to about 45k into truck
What was the inspiration?
My friend Cris Payne aka Truck Guru said he wanted to help me build a truck. At first I said no because I was a car guy. So few months go by and Truck Guru and my friend Gio I let them talk me into buying a truck to build for SEMA 2017.
How long did it take you to build?
It took few months cause I was taking the truck to a few different places to have vinyl wrap done stero and interior.
But once Gio and I finally got truck back we built the truck in about 3 weeks with the help of our other friend Timmy.
How long have you been building?
I've always been into cars and lowriders since I was 16. But to build something to this caliber is my first. My tech Gio builds off road jeeps and buggys. But this was his first time building a show piece as well.
Your future plans?
Looking forward to rebuilding truck this year 2018 SEMA. Do a bigger lift and wheels on my truck change few other things but I can't say just yet what we are doing.
Thanks to
Big thanks to Cris Payne aka Truck Guru for the great opportunity and introducing me to a lot of great company's and helping get started in the truck scene. My builder and friend Gio thank you for building a bad ass truck and a lot of late nights to help me build my dream truck. And Timmy for helping when help was needed. My boss Zach Sweeney for giving me the opportunity and place to build my truck and believing in what we do to help better our company Shamrock Customs.
My main sponsor Rolling Big Power they have gone up and beyond to my sure my truck is always on point and ready for showing.
