Not only is it big, you should hear it turn over ! That and the overall design - well, let's say Bruce did not design this truck be a wallflower. Five hundred hp on the motor, seven hundred on the bottle with the capacity for 120psi on twin turbos? This thing is a beast and you did not get the delight of hearing the four train horns on this sucker :)

It was an honor to work with my fellow AG geeks today, and Bruce and his wife were more than nice to us, keeping us feed and watered. It was nice to do this today for a really nice guy ....

[Fishincricket]

That's awesome guys!!!!

[Regency]

Awesome guys, another reason I think this is the best detailing forum to date. Love seeing threads like this with everyone pitching in and having a huge turn around.

[Wheelzntoys]

Great work! Touching and awesome at the same time
