Did good on build old tires and rims, no front end alignment . Waiting for bed and rear fenders from blaster, paint and install then rims and tires--- Was very pleased with 8 month build and first test run--

Very nice, black with just the right amount of Bling, I love it. I can already imagine just how that first drive felt. There really are not any words to accurately describe that feeling, it's one of those things you just have to experience to know. Now try to stop smiling by morning so you can drink your coffee without dribbling it down your jammies.
