August 25th, 2008 | Category: Courtney, News

You’ll need sunglasses to look at this 1995 Chevy Stepside. It started out stock, but owner Bill Gaines started with a frame off resto six years ago and never stopped! It has a gorgeous leather interior, 3000 watt audio/video system, 22” wheels, all chrome suspension and the engine is tricked out in so much chrome you could eat off it. Neon lights add to the show. It’s on The PowerBlock August 30 & 31.
