It is very sad to see this yet again.. and I want to make sure everyone knows this is my personal opinion only...

I see many of the Cancer builds come over these days and to be honest it is overwhelming I can tell you that 2 came in on the same day both with the same song and dance.. I truly feel for those battling cancer and i hope that one day we can find the cure and help everyone in the world that is dealing with this day in and day out. As many of you know i would help anyone on a personal level and i don't like to see anyone suffer from things out of their control just like many of the worlds people we all care about each other on this level and come together to help in times of need however its people like this that make you want to just not..

To be completely honest here.. things like this shouldn't become a motivator for your hobby or love of custom vehicles if you wanted to build one to donate to a raffle to either gain money to pay medical bills or to just simply donate to the cause then by all means that makes sense but to use this illness to build a personal vehicle that can not help you financially with your situation is really going backwards. I remember when the thought of doing a build for the cause was a cool and great idea but now its just become another angle people are playing to get sponsors. Its time to wake up this is a serious issue and is effecting the lives of many this inst just another name or thing to put on a proposal in hopes to get what you want for your build. If you are going to build it for cancer then build it for cancer relief and research not yourself...

Again i want to say that this is my personal opinion and trust that i do care for those that are dealing with cancer in their lives i just feel there is a better way to make progress than using it to build vehicles that you don't intend to use for the cause.

Wow thats just low. A lady did that in Toronto but just for cash. She got caught and I think jail time. At the very least her name was spread all over the net and television and she will never be able to outlive that act.

This dude fucked alot of us over!! When I received a call from killeen police dept I couldn't believe what they were saying. Asking me all these queations about his illness and shit. I personally didn't want to believe that someone would have yhe nerve to call someone out about him having cancer. I didn't know the guy like the others that helped build the truck but we invited him to camp with us at texmex. He seemed like a cool guy but then again he is a con artist and that's how they are. We got to know him and the guys that built his truck. We all hit off pretty good that I asked them about rollin :SUNSET: its crazy what people will do just to build a truck. The stories he told about his life and the struggles he was goin through. I feel bad for everyone who was involved with this!!! The dude is gonna have it coming and I hope im there when it happens!!!

No one ever asked to see a doctor's report? X-ray? CT Scan? Test results? And just took someone on their word? If so, I'm a prince in Nigeria and have $20,398,203 dollars to send you, just need your social, DOB, name and address. I understand helping a good cause but serouisly?!?! No one thought to check this out before they put on a benefit car show and started supplying him with parts for a build, how gullible have we become?

Yes it sucks BUT people get scammed everyday. People use health issues to scam people every day. Sad that I have to say this but, DONATOR BEWARE!

Dude the truck was built with kindness of peoples heart as well as money donated. When one of us is down we pick em up after all us minitruckers are family right?? I have helped a lot of people in the scene that have needed it. I do it out of kindness. I've never had to question anybody I've helped in the past so why would I have or they have questioned Brian about it?? He went to them for help and the kind people they are they agreed to help. Gullible?? Hell no!!! Being human and having a heart?? Yes!!!

Damn, what a low life.. My truck is dedicated to my Mom who passed away with cancer, so this really upsets me. I feel for those who thought they were helping him out. He will have to answer for this one day...
