Chris isn't very active on here. But it got shot for C10 Builders Guide & StreetTrucks, also had a video shoot for SoloFilms Livin on Air Vol I. He drove it and enjoyed it and now a new owner in AR is enjoying it. We dropped off to him and went on North AR to see Clem where we picked up his new build Thunder Chief!
![]() ![]() Right now he is stacking parts and waiting his turn on the frame table at Popeye's. |
