Vehicle history
I Went Through 3 Paint Shops and 2 Body Shops Before Getting the Right People to Finish It
Thanks to
Want to Dedicate this Truck to my Grandparents, Who Loved it As Much as I Do. They Both Passed Away Before it Could be Completed. I Want to Thank all my Friends for Sticking with me Thru all the Despair and Heartache While I Went Through all the Shops that Were Unable to Achieve What I Wanted. I Want to Thank All the Shops That Were able to See the Project Through and Helped me to Realize my Dream. I Especially Want to Thank My Family and Wife. My Wife Shannon was a Great Motivating Factor in this Project, Never Letting me Forget We Were Doing Something Special. She Stuck by Me as Multiple People Dropped by the Wayside and Continued to Write the Checks as the Bills Kept Coming in. Without Her Support and Guidance This Project Would Not Have Been Possible.
