Meaning Behind the Name
The previous owner used to go to numerous shows but got out of the scene. When I bought her she needed lots of love so I redeemed her back to life

Ride Details
Original Cost
Original owner paid $700 as a junk yard find
Build Cost
Original owner costs + my reburbish costs = priceless
What was the inspiration?
I saw this car in 2004 and told the owner if you ever sell it then I am your buyer. He sold it to me in 2018. I restored her back to her original look. She was an Xtreme Lowz member before and I wanted her to be again.
How long did it take you to build?
A year to reburbish her to the original state.
How long have you been building?
A year.
Club Affiliations
Xtreme Lowz
Your future plans?
Car shows, car shows and more car shows to get her back out in the public again.
Vehicle history
Original owner bought her from a junk yard and she was loaded onto a hauler with a fork lift. He showed her for many years then got out of the scene. When I picked her up, she had been outside in the West Virginia weather for 5 years.
