Just curious Mike, how did you go about getting so many sponsors on board with your build???

**67cheby** · 11-12-2012, 07:37 PM

The companies want to see what kind of reach you as a representative can give their product, The fact that my truck was going to SEMA and the online presence that my truck has both here and on facebook helped alot also ! i think the SEMA thing was the biggest part !

The first 4 sponsors that my truck picked up contacted me about using their product on my truck , that of course started the wheels turning in my head and I started contacting the companies after that, about 40 percent of the companies that I contacted were willing to sponsor in some form the rest said no or didn't even respond !

Your truck turned out great. I'm sure that never gets old hearing after your long build. Very nice. You should feel proud.

Good luck on your wifes build.

The truth comes out! Awesome color- great outside-the-box thinking there

**67cheby** · 11-13-2012, 02:27 PM

LOL, i think you were on the right track already !! As far as the color goes thank you i owe that to my wife and a little guidance from Mitch Henderson !

jlsanborn · 11-13-2012, 03:04 PM

Ha! I figured that color out months ago but didn't want to ruin your surprise. When you said that you'd have something that "screamed VeeWee" on the outside I was going to throw a picture of a swamp cooler on here. That would've trumped the gold thing I bet!

70c10stepside · 11-13-2012, 03:08 PM

This truck is amazing man!

I think that sounds like fun! Member how nasty that thing used to be? Put your white cotton on Dr. Losh.

The rack idea sounds cool! Aluminum? Tiger Maple?

In case you're interested.....
