Folks, I'm out here at Scottsdale. The 48 Hour Build is turning out great. With 350,000 people expected, this project really shows off our awesome trucks. The build team is also showing enthusiasts how easy it is to work on this platform. The truck itself is in really nice shape. It's not my favorite color, but the metal is straight and rust free.
The most amazing thing is watching the heads of these great companies dive in and personally install their products. That's good for all of us. So not only is the buyer of this truck going to get an American Autowire electrical system, but it's actually being installed by Michael Manning. Ditto for Vintage Air where V.P Rick Love is getting it done. Some of these guys have been around the industry forever, but they can still turn wrenches with the best of em.
If you are coming out to Barrett-Jackson, be sure to stop in, check out the truck and introduce yourself to these fine manufacturers. They are happy to put down their tools and spend some time talking with you.
And if you can't make it, please stay on top of the build by checking out the photo galleries, watch the live feeds and watch on Sunday around 4PM local time (Mountain)

..and remember that the truck is selling No Reserve to the highest bidder. Anything can happen. It should be exciting.
