SPECIAL THANKS FROM THE OWNER: “I want to give special thanks to my family who supported me throughout the build, especially my wife, who understood the purpose of the build. My GroundZero family, who talked me out of selling my truck when it got too frustrating to finish. They helped me understand that not everything comes easy. To my buddy Heriberto Rodriguez, who was there from the very beginning of it all. Alfredo Castillo and all his guys who worked endless hours to give the truck the mirror finish. Bobby Flores, who laid some wicked engraving on the wheels and pipes. Alfonso and Julio, for the sick interior they accomplished. The guys over At Eagle Racing, and finally Jorge Cantu (chicken) who helped the truck come to life.”
