Vehicle history
Truck was originally built by Kyle Garza with help from Dan at Dotlow rides. I was fortunate enough to purchase the truck from Kyle a little over 2 years ago and continue his vision in the truck scene.
Thanks to
My fiance for supporting me and allowing me to do what I love. A huge thanks goes out to Kyle Garza. This truck wouldn't have been the way it is today without his vision and hard work. And last but not least I'd like to thank my Freaks of Nature family and anyone who has lend a hand throughout the years.
