Build Cost
all of it
What was the inspiration?
when I originally bought it new in October of 2016 the plan was to make a big mean tow pig. last year it hauled our 2017 SEMA build (@1971_formula_lucy) all over the country to various shows. within the last 2 years it has been built a couple different times. each time getting bigger and meaner. the current build was for the Rolling Big Power booth at SEMA 2018.
How long did it take you to build?
from the day I pulled it in the shop and ripped it all apart until the day I loaded it on the trailer for sema was 9 weeks. 9 very very short weeks.
How long have you been building?
long enough to grow a big grey beard
