Vehicle history
A repo, bought from a bank, for the purpose of being a work truck. About two years later it was lowered, and then hand built madness for several years until it became what you see today.
Thanks to
Richie Strong, James Mayes, Justin White, Farmer Ken, Steve Harrington, John Ensminger, Eric Gump, and last but not least, the fine folks in Twisted Creations.
