I saw that truck at a car show in St Paul. Those pictures do it absolutely no justice. Its amazing. They had a board next to it stating all the facts of it. I don't remember exactly but it was like $180,000 invested in the truck and its trailer; and about 50,000 man hours of labor to complete it. One thing the pictures didn't show is the body is on some kind of hydrolics kinda like a dump truck. The body slants up and the grill ends up at like 14 ft in the air. Its pretty cool.

I'm kinda torn here. The art itself is great but the combination detracts from the face of the truck. It reminds me of someone who is tattoo'd all over to the point you can't tell where the skin ends and the tattoos begin and the detail is like you have to be right up on it to see it.

RE: Paint Job!!
There were 2 different numbers of hours. One was how many hours were actually worked and the other was broken down into each persons and then added together. Like if two guys worked 7 hours apiece then its 14 total. Like i said i dont remember the actual numbers though....

If I had it I would sell it and buy a new Dodge, but the paint job is awesome, would be a little nicer if it had a M2A3 Bradley fighting vehicle on the side instead of the Tank, I've been a Bradley Commander for 3 years so Im a little partial to it, but then again the Tanks havealways got our back when we haveneeded them.
