Special Thanks From Owner
I tore this truck apart, which was featured in the August ’09 issue of Mini Truckin’. The story was titled Pure Hatred. I was bored with having a finished truck, so I ripped into it again and turned it into a unibody and stuffed in the largest modern engine I could. Thanks to Rey Colunga of Built 2 Drag, Coy’s Upholstery, Tony Hernandez for the oh-so-important paint and bodywork, Hernan’s Transmissions, and my dad Joe Juarez.
Project Completion Date
ASAP
