Congrats to Ivan with his insane xB! :up:

*Remember to contact Tom @ Rip Graphics with your t-shirt information.




I am going to nominate myself for May. I won in May 2007, but the vehicle was not done plus the site had technical difficulties and was never posted on the site. So here are pics of the UM Lunchbox. I will have my complete Bio up in a couple of days. Enjoy !!!

P.S. I am sorry for Bending the 4 pic rule, but omitting any pic, neglects the custom work showcased ...

Theme;
There is a meaning to all this madness. This vehicle is dedicated to my family. All members of my family have graduated from either the University of Miami or the University of Florida and without their support this build would have never been possible. As a tribute to them I have removable football wrapped panels that sit under the dash, each represents one school and has the “autographs” of the members of my family that has gone to each corresponding school. Unfortunately both my grandparents died before I could complete the vehicle but fortunately signed the panels before their passing, which made its completion even more special to my entire family. So enjoy my true labor of love.

Thank you for that and the great thing is no matter what I can keep the panels, even if I sell the car.

More dirt on my family; On the UM side there is an autograph by Jenna Canet, the youngest member in our family. Well just recently she was accepted to the University of Florida. Boy do we give her shit for that now .. lol
