Anyone who has been in our shop lately has seen this project in one form or another and we are proud to say that it is finally complete. Probably the coolest project we will ever do and we cannot thank Brad Holzhauer and 618 Motorsports enough for trusting us to build this for them. When we took on the build I told Brad that we would do it on the condition that they could not see the tractor until it was done. They trusted us enough to do it and I sent them teaser pictures and videos all along the way to build the suspense haha! Seeing their faces at the unveiling made it all worth it. That being said, we also have many people to thank that helped us complete this project. First and foremost, we have to thank Rodney Schnitker for his guidance in this build. We have learned, and continue to learn so much from you, and your knowledge in Pro Stock tractors is second to none. We also have to give a huge shoutout to Engler Machine and Tool for the awesome chassis and Brian Collins and Curt Leek for always being available to answer my never ending string of phone calls. We also have to thank the guys that put the shine to this beauty. Limitless Powder Coating applied the gloss black powdercoat on the chassis, Jay and Kyle Romack from Paintn 2 Perfection knocked it out of the park with the paint job and our go to polisher Dylan Flowers and his team at Kustom Metal Finishing & Polishing Inc. made everything look like a mirror. We also need to thank Bernie Platz. Had it not been for him introducing us to the tractor pulling sport from the build side, we would have never had the opportunity to do this kind of work. A special thanks to Jeremy and the crew at Wagler Competition Products, and Cody McKinley at Corsa Data Acquisition for their help through this build as well. These guys both build great stuff and their customer service is outstanding. This build took a team of people to finish and our guys loved doing the work. We can't wait to see this thing out on track this summer!
