This is no ordinary Rat Rod. It was designed and built by an experienced Winston Cup race car builder. The build was completed with race-quality parts front-to-rear for superior performance and reliability. “DELIVERANCE” was completed in March 2012.
The frame was hand-built with 4-link and double-adjustable (compression & rebound) shocks. The hood is a lift-off with 3 pins. The taillights are ’40 Ford replicas. The rear wheels are Valken polished aluminum with Hoosier Pro Street 31×18.5R156LT’s.

The truck was finished in March of 2012 and was immediately put on the road. It does well around town, in heavy traffic or down the highway at speeds of 75-80 mph with no problem.
The truck was used on the new album cover for Honeysuckle Ridge Band w/ Jody Lee Petty and has appeared in Hot Rod Magazine.
