Thanks to
Got a lot of people to thank first of my mom and dad they are why I'm into this and my dad put in hours on this build with me to help me meet my goals. Got to thank Darren Ives for all the striping on car. Garage helpers Mike, Anna, Jake, AJ and my boy Ronny Smith for the use of paint booth. Thanks to Tim Jewett for being my parts finder when I needed it. Tim at Auto City Classics for parts. Brian from Sns Maz from finish masters. Dustin from Gauge Store for getting me all the air ride and the wheels. Tom and Mahoney for all the custom stuff I needed bent or cut. Also wiring help from Matt Busch and Matt "Flossin" Stevens. Jordan Roberts for the last all niter we pulled to get it to the show and big Sean at Top Stitch. And Joel Grambart for the awesome exhaust. Last but not least to my TWISTED KONCEPTS family for all the support.
