In this case, "Shameless" is defined by the owner's wife
when describing the amount of money that was
spent on this multiple award winning Chevy C10. Let's face
it, trucks are hot and this rig takes it to the next
level with incredible attention to detail, creativity
and modern technology. From concept to completion, there
are countless hours of creative time and energy
that went into this Drivable work of art and the end result is simply scrumptious...
Finished in a delightful blend of custom colors by "Hot
Hues", the bright silver upper body is Cosmic Dust
complimented with a special blend of Candy Apple Red on
the bottom. Smooth and crisp, the extremely
creative body modifications and custom features are so
extensive, its almost impossible to catch them in one
viewing but we will get you started :-)...

we think it speaks for itself. Ready to attract crowds
wherever you travel/show, it's your turn...
