    Wow were not famous but Gene is. They restored the truck at Hatfields and its in Rod and Custom this month and our little shop Tyler Tool got wrote down in the credits on the restoration. Man that makes me proud that we were able to help. 35 years building cars and parts this is got to be one of best moments in a long time !!

    Terry, I never expected anything we ever did to be mentioned...well honorably anyway, haha. As for what we did (49ratfink), Dale brought me the original Winfield shop sign that was mounted on the bed. I redrew it exactly the way Gene hand cut it all those years ago (Hatfield re-used the original trim) and we cheated....we used a laser to cut it out, lol. It is the coolest thing I have ever used my artistic side for, except for that time I tattooed the *** of Bridgette the Midget. Ok, that was a lie, but we did do Genes' truck, haha.
