Matt's trucking company

Torn all the way down.
And now we get to watch him rebuild ..
This is his third full build, and probably the simplest.
Stock bodywork, lower, faster ..

Matt's builds have been posted a lot on here.
The sedan is on a double z'd chassis.
The pick up is on a swept front chassis.
