Update : New pictures coming soon! The truck will be featured in the Motormusicmag.com booth #10459 in North Hall at the 2009 SEMA Show. Look for me and the Super Bee!
The final touches for the SEMA Show include new shocks, headers and a few minor appearance changes. I will post updated photos as soon as I am able.
The truck was recently professionally photographed for the second time and is now featured on www.motormusicmag.com ! I want to give a big thank you to all who have helped me with this project. From the body work to the audio system to everything inbetween, I couldn't have done it without you all! Thank you to the talented Carl Edwards for the beautiful photo above and in the Motormusicmag.com feature: web.mac.com/carart
