    Congrats to him on finishing this project. That's real dedication to a vision. I particularly like the rear view.

    I have seen rare glipses of this epic truck on here at shows. This is a sweet custom and so excited for its debut. Great work guys and love the scallops also. Thanx for the peek, will be seeing some great shots from the GNRS without a doubt. ~sololobo~

    Yeah he does not care for the name much either but most people don't get the luxury of choosing their nickname.

    Man! GNRS just keeps getting better.

    In case some of you might have missed it, Customs are back in a big way. Ain't it grand?

    My dad,**** Dean, gave him the nickname. When people need trans work, He'd tell them to call "****** John". It was easier then saying "Transmission John". And remember, my dad's nickname was "****".
