Hey everyone. I just wanted to say thanks for watching our build this past month. It was a long 26 days to get to SEMA. We got there late but still got there. Here is a quick story of how it went down followed by some pics I have found of the truck online and took myself.
As most of you know we sent the truck down to Texas to get the big lift done. The Fox shocks took a few weeks longer than expected so it put us a few weeks behind. After I got the truck back we did the Katzkin leather and QuietRide sound deadening and insulation material on the inside then dropped it off at the shop. Just a few days into the strip down of my truck a careless owner of the shop knocked a 6ft exhaust wall fan into the side of my bed caving it in. I told them not to fix it and Id bring my guy to do it. Next day we got there, on a Saturday and they had tried to beat it out from the inside with a hammer and stretched the metal making it worse. The owner never showed up to talk about it or even work on the truck. The next day me and my boy Kris went back over to work on the truck and the owner again didnt show so we pulled the truck. My boy Kris runs the shop at California Customs in my town and the owner agreed to let us take up some of the shop space they had available to build the truck in exchange for me building them a website. So I agreed and we called in a rollback to put my stripped down truck on and move it an hour away. After a $350 tow bill we now had a new spot to build the truck and only 26 days left to do it with a dent in the bed. So that's how it started and you see below how it ended. We worked many many all nighters, especially the last week. The last few days, no one slept. I was up 29 hours straight then drove 17 hours of our trip to Vegas. Once we got there I couldnt even go to bed I was so excited. But when my head finally hit the pillow I was out for awhile lol. The paint work was done by Ed Williamson www.KustomPaintbyEd.com or myspace.com/kustompaintbyed If you need some bad ass air brush work or even graphics or flames hit him up for a quote. He will travel and his rates are very very reasonable, especially for the quality of the work you get. Ed was the lead painter at Big Dog Choppers before the bike market tanked.
Thanks again for following the build and we have made some great friends along the way on here. Enjoy.

The truck did not look rushed at all. I was particularly impressed with the quality of work into your truck. Glad I got a chance to see it in person because the pictures don't do it justice. Glad to now I wasn't the only person pulling all nighters before SEMA.
