SPECIAL THANKS FROM THE OWNER: “This project couldn’t have come together if it weren’t for great people. Thank you to my wife and her extreme patience with me as well as her helping hands. Thanks to Paul Devries who told me we could save another one from the crusher. (He never mentioned how much it would cost though.) Thanks to my father who told me never to become a mechanic, Scott Miller for the countless hours he spent in my shop working and drinking coffee, Jim Wildgoose of Wildgoose Performance, Shawn Patterson of S&P Motorsports, Charlie Schafer of CSI Racing, Trevor Bezzina for his talent putting paint through a gun, and all of my buddies who kept asking me when the truck was going to be done—thank you.”
