White Lightning


This photo is of my son's monster truck. He built it himself from scratch and it is now for hire. His website is http:www.monstertruckrentals.com for more information.
He started out working for an owner and would take pictures of the framework and drivetrains. I would loan him my camera thinking I was going to get pictures of "Grave Digger" and some of the others. He brought a few of those home, but it was mostly pictures of a bunch of steel pipes and parts. From those photos, he spent almost three years purchasing steel, welding them up for the frame, buying axles, transmissions, wiring harnesses, engines, wheels, and all the other things he needed to build his truck. The cab was one of the most expensive out-right purchases, but he put it all together and has an amazing finished product. He also flys RC planes and helicopters and has built many of his own over the years. Not much he can't do - mom is bragging now...
