how can people take credit for something they didnt do to a truck and even go into detail about supposovly "how" they went about the work. My buddy purchased this truck bagged a few years ago with a solid color paint and some billets and wrapped seats, a VERY clean truck. So Derrick decided to put some one sided flames on it who Chris Wolford painted of SE Texas "Twisted Customs and Collision" and did a great job of it. He soon sold it after doing some minor tweaks to it and the new owner soon later got it featured it Street trucks in Jan 2010. He told me the story last night saying how the new owner said he had it painted and how he chose he paint colors and had the interior done when it was already done. How can people do this and take credit for stuff like this? Just say "Hey i bought it like this and got it put in the magazine" there is nothing wrong with doing that just give credit where credit is due ya know? I know its an older feature but still....I really hope the owner of this truck see's and reads this..... http://www.streetsource.com//uploads/forum/l/laydhombre/18541_1157244266152_1679110710_353917_6812133_n.jpg
MOST OF THE TIME ITS NOT THE OWNER SAYING ANYTHING. ITS ALL BASED ON A TECH SHEET. SO IF THE WRITERS FOR THE MAG JSUT GO OFF THE SPECS WRITTEN THEY DONT KNOW THE WHOLE STORIES. THEY JSUT PRINT WHAT THEY CAN KNOW OFF WHATS IN THAT TECH SHEET. MOST OF THE TIME ITS A MISCOMMUNICATION THING. THIS COULD OR MIGHT NOT BE ONE OF THOSE TIMES I JSUT KNOW HOW STUFF LIKE THIS GETS MESSED UP
well maybe they should try to get the person to be more in-depth and have rough drafts then send the final draft to let them read it to get the story straight pugz.....lol but i see where your coming from. I had my stuff in detail and dates etc and my feature in 08 still wasnt written right lol
I know this is an old thread that got bumped. However I do know Rodney, that owns the truck now, All he did was fill out a tech sheet and give it to the mag. One of the guys that did a shit ton of interior work on it did not even get mentioned in the article but it was on the tech sheet.
Pugz nailed it, without providing ample information the story could be inaccurate. Also the person compiling the story of the vehicle might take it in a different direction due to them getting drawn into what they are creating. Rarely ever does a write up match the actual story. Ernie did it best keeping it short and to the point making you read the tech sheet to get info.
