What was the inspiration?
My drive to do this everyday is one day hoping to give it to my son and for the love of cars and the camaraderie of hanging with my car family and showing off all my blood, sweat and tears that I have put into my car. Me and my son (Phoenix) who is 6 years old go out to the garage anytime im off work and work on our car showing him what the tools are and what they can be used on. Then usually on the weekends we find car shows either here in town or out of state shows to attend and compete. My plan is when he turns 16 i can pass this car onto him so he will be the coolest kid in school.
How long did it take you to build?
Its been 4 years and i dont see it ever being done as there is always new products and new touches that you can ad to a car that nobody has yet to try out.
How long have you been building?
I started building my car in 2012 the first day i brought it home.
Club Affiliations
Bagged society and filthy fitment
Your future plans?
My future plans which some are already taken place this winter are fender flares with running a 6 inch lip in the rear and a 5 inch lip up front, custom headlights, pull the motor shave and tuck everything in the bay. Way in the future a procharger.
Vehicle history
I purchased the vehicle in 2012 from ABC auction in Illinois with 91000 miles and dented in rear bumper and nice crease in the hood. The car was completely stock and i found out a older lady was the only owner and kept all the records of the maintenance she had done on the car.
Thanks to
My wife and children
