Special
Thanks To:
It all began with wanting something different,
and started off with wanting a new Paint
Job and a reversed Tailgate handle. Needless
to say it turned into a major project that
was worth its while. I would love to give
special thanks to my Brother in Law Kevin
Blanchard, without his help it would have
never even started. I would also like to
thank Carl Still for some frame mods and
Mark Hollingsworth for his impressive Graphic
Masterpiece.
