I believe this one was build by 69myway and was built for a friend of his. I think you can google the guys webpage, Tropic zone racing. I believe that is the name of the guys webpage.

Daytona, thank you for the feedack! This was taken the day we picked it up from the NCM after being there for a couple of years. It was very nice to have it on display for everyone to see.
