    when I saw the first picture of the chop, I thought to myself, "....man, someone went and fucked up a nice cab." sooooooo glad I didn't say that before. I'm jealous, that's one of the slickest trucks I've ever seen. very very impressive.

    That's not lame, that's pretty damn good. You should do it again and emphasize the truck.

    Lame? Your crazy I you think that's lame. If you drew one of my cars like that I'd have it tattooed in a heart beat

    You guys really need to see this thing in person to fully appreciate the truck...and the sound is unreal! He tried to get the truck ready for the GNRS but it's still technically unfinished so he's shooting for the lone star round up and another show in between.
    Anybody know of other shows in the eastern seaboard in the meantime?

    Very cool truck. I like the chop . I chopped my 50 f1 3 1/2 inches. I split my roof in fore pices, rather than lean the pillars. Well back to your truck ;looks great , like the frame, clean chop . What city are you from ; just wondering if I will ever see it at a show .

    Just because I like it doesn't mean I think it belongs on this forum. I do like it, and quality work sir.

    Yes it was freaking great!!!!!, so many nice cars and trucks at the show that it was a honor to be picked best of. I haven't been coming out to too many shows latetly because of the shop, but it was impressive the quality of cars that are coming out of Florida.

    Special thanks to Noel aka. "The Chief" for all his support at the show and the Swamp Kings for the great show they organized !!! Next year count me in ...

    I am SO happy to see you won Best of Show. When my Son and I walked away from looking at your car and talking to you we both said it was the one we would have picked too. I don't have enough superlatives to describe the incredible workmanship and uniqueness of this truck. It is a piece of jewelry, a work of rolling art. Dan is taking a nap but when he wakes up he will be stoked to hear the good news. :D

    Also enjoyed talking with you and your beautiful lady. (maybe her more than you :D) You are both very nice people and deserve the trophy Billetproof awarded you. There were a TON of some of the best cars at BP that I have seen anywhere, and to take the win in such an elite group really says something.

    CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
