Jeremey Tankersley (Tank), our Customer Service Supervisor has had a lot of help from Terry Aken with painting and adding the finishing touches to this project.

Along with Terry’s help with the final painting and miscellaneous unexpected nuances that have occurred in the final stages of the process, Tank also had a lot of additional help from Vance Dobbins, who specializes in custom hand lettering vehicles.
