Update : More new pictures and videos coming soon! The truck was recently featured in the Motormusicmag.com booth at the 2009 SEMA Show. I had the privilege of meeting Chip Foose while I was there and came home with a very special signature on my custom ram air intake. Thanks, Chip!

A couple more pics. On the left, me and my favorite Meguiar's guy, Jason Rose. On the right, me and the brains behind this project, who is also my amazing boyfriend.
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! A special thanks goes out to Ben Oh and the Motormusicmag.com team for all the support and coverage of the Bee!
