Ride Details

Original Cost
$400
Build Cost
To damn much
What was the inspiration?
I had a lot to inspire me on this build I mean tons of lowriders and some famous minitrucks and what also inspired me is that you never see those two worlds together so why not cause let's be honest if it wasn't for lowriders minitrucks wouldn't be around
How long did it take you to build?
Total time was 5 years
How long have you been building?
I was building custom hot wheels as a 6 and 7 year old so a long time
Your future plans?
Have a lot of small details I want to add to the truck especially the engine bay and I am currently building another Toyota
Thanks to
