SHOW FAVORITES – We always pick a few favorites from a show. Typically we like the strange and unusual or the extremely well done rig. We don’t have any formal criteria, it’s just a feeling where we go – man, now that’s cool!

TWISTED WILLYS
Talk about a strange animal! David Leasure’s 1950 Willys truck is a near engineering marvel. The Jeep features a split frame allowing it articulation that boggles the mind. The split is accomplished by a bearing in the center section of the frame behind the cab area. Limiting straps and shocks control twisting.
