ah yes there it is,is that still in primer or is it Grey in color?

Do they still have the same crew other than zimmerman?
I heard they are booked for like 5 years wow!

[dropit69]

no its grey in color..looks like its gonna be killer as if you expected any less from troy's crew..seems like same staff minus jared..heard he has plans to possible buiold a new shop ..bigger cause hes outgrown this one big time..prolly hire more fabricaters then

[NOVA]

heard he has plans to possible build a new shop ..bigger cause he's outgrown this one big time..

Personally I am surprised that a new shop hasnt already been done as much high end work as he does and as busy as he is,what is the waiting list these days,3-4 years! he could triple his space and personel and probably still be backed up for that long!
What does the sign say above the big over head door say? it doesnt look like rad rides but I can not see it that well?
