Default Hero's Truck @ W.O.W (Gotta See!!!)

Well i went to the World of Wheels last night to see if I could get my car in. I decided not to go. My application didnt get sent in, kind of a mess so i ended up on stand by. One good thing is a got an early look at the show and I saw this truck called the Hero's Truck. If anyone has seen it, its unbelievable!!!!

http://www.heroestruck.com/pictures.html

Few things about it I rememebr

5 years to build
50,000 man hours
1,200 hours for the paid job
$80,000 Paint Job
$650,000 overall cost.

I saw it at he show last night, it opens tonight. I didnt have my camera, but i figured a truck this bad *** has to have pics on the web. IMO the website it great. The problem with seeing it in person is there is too much details to see. It sits to tall to even see the interior, and even if you opened the doors to see it you can't see the huge murals on the side.


Its best of show by far, but for thata price tag it should be Still one of the nicest show pieces I have ever seen. I cant think of much that compares and I've seen alot.

So, how was the show? I'll head down tomorrow with a bunch of people. I havent gone in 2 years. And 2 years ago, the show wasn't all that great.

A few nice BMWs from BPG/Diffsonline and Brad's Z.
