I owned this '96 Chevy Silverado for 4 years before the engine blew up. Instead of junking it, I decided to challenge myself and put my education (I graduated from WyoTech in 2008) and abilities to the test. It wasn't easy, but a few scratched tools, busted knuckles and a lot of hard work later and I've got something I can be proud to say I restored on my own, even if it did take a good portion of my time and wages. There were countless dents, rusted quarter panels and too many minor blemishes to name, but now this truck turns heads everywhere it goes. I finished just weeks before submitting my truck into this contest, and, if nothing else, I hope everyone enjoys looking at her.
