Congrats Jonny. As much as I liked the old rendition, the new one is funky. I look forward to seeing it up close.

I have had the pleasure of watching this truck transform into what it is today!! Even was allowed to help some!! It is a bad a$$ ride. And I can say that Jon has had very little hands on help.Giving new meaning to the frase " I did it by myself "!!

I'm proud to call him my best friend!!
