Ride Details

Original Cost

An additional $15,000
What was the inspiration?
When I saw it on the cover of Minitruckin magazine in 1998 I knew I wanted it. Many years later I discovered it was in Pa, approx.. 2.5 hrs away. I then started inquiring about buying it several times a year, every year for seven years. When the opportunity to buy it became available I wasted no time buying. From the moment I bought it my main goal was to preserve and restore as much as possible. After assessing the damage I had to replace the entire driveline, interior, complete wiring harness and repair significant rust and hail damage on the body
How long did it take you to build?
Approximately 3 yrs to restore her to her former glory
How long have you been building?
I been into building vehicles since 1993
Club Affiliations
BANZAI CRUISERS
Your future plans?
To maintain and preserve Minitruckin history as best as i can-more importantly to enjoy her as much as possible.
Vehicle history
Originally built in the 90s by Rob Rodell she disappeared off the scene around 2000--then was left neglected till i purchased it. , after 3 yrs of restoring she debuted back into the show scene in 2019
Thanks to
Rob Rodell the original builder, Ryan Evans for an amazing paint job , all my friends and family thst helped out when i needed it--most importantly my wife Jessica for encouraging me to take on a project of this magnitude.
