| ROTW-CC93CRUISER (DAD's Cruiser)
Hello all. I guess it is my turn once again for the ROTW, but don't worry, this is not the same cruiser you seen before, but my dad's. I know it is Tuesday already, but just bare with me. I am going to start my write up and post tons of pics tonight. This cruiser has been owned by 3 other cruiserheads all contributing to how the cruiser looks today ( Drexx, Amando & Mike Thompson-all really die hard cruiserheads! I know they were all happy to see this wonderful machine go to someone that loves cruisers too.) . Oh yeah, one more minor detail  is that the cruiser was one of the first 80 series cruisers built by Christo Slee and his staff (did I say it was a minor detail ). This cruiser has tons of goodies and I know I will be busy posting must of the mods.. Here are the most impaortant mods:

| nice job Robert, your dad's ride is Sick!! I've been wheeling with this rig for the past four years. First when Drexx owned it, then Mondo and now your Dad, it handles everything that is thrown at it. Tell your dad to hurry up and get the Slee 6" springs then the truck will truly be unstoppable
