First someone rips off Ernie's rendition and paint job and then someone jacks the video he put in another thread and starts claiming it.... LOL

Didnt know Ernie had already posted it, so my apologies for that.

Ah yes, the memories. Audio Chamber at in it's hey-day. Believe it or not, most of those trucks you see repeatedly were actually cover trucks and probably some of the coolest trucks at that time. The red convertible 720 was built by a guy that was in our club (Ideal Minis) and was actually one of, if not the first mini-truck to ever ride on air. He adapted air shocks and used a small air brush compressor stashed behind the seat to raise and lower it. The 720 KingCab with the wedge shaped box is the infamous Bill Harrill Nissan. Those blank speakers were Audio Chamber "specials". A guy named Jesse owned the gullwing door Mazda which eventually was tandemed in the back, then stretched about nine feet into a limo later on. Too bad there wasn't more footage of Lee Bower's yellow Toy-rossa. That thing was bad as hell. The blue and graphic-ed Hardbody with the shell was owned by a dude named Tracy Hood. That was one clean ass truck that one day, just disappeared.

All the truck's in the video were from a audio shop called AUDIO CHAMBER. They even had there own brand of amps and drivers. Back then that was the place that everyone wanted a system from. The yellow TOYOTA along with most of the trucks were past cover trucks in the late 80s early 90s. That video shows alot of the trends that were going on back then

Corey, it's because I am old!..LOLActually I was good friends with most of those guys and pretty much lived at the audio shop (Sonic Excellence) that most of them started not long after this video. I spent many a long night helping build several of what was probably at least 20 different sub box configurations over the years that went into Bill's 720. My roommate some years later actually bought it from Bill. Some might disagree but Harrill's 720, at the time and for several years was the epitome of mini-truckin and pretty much any mini-trucker's wet dream. If I had to put any others in this group at this time, it would be Jeremy from the original Banzai Cruiser's "Sharkwave" and some homeboy from LA who rolled a standard cab Mazda called "Egyptian Lover". Man I miss the old school minis.BMC

yo i saw mario lopez

like all of these other guys I started when these trucks where the big I remeber the first minitruckin I ever bought had hood's truck on the cover.

Awsome to see this video..
