Jay wanted Weeza to be a show-quality vehicle, and in the eight months he put into the project, we'd say that goal was well met. Completion of the project wouldn't have been possible without the help of Darren and Deric Cink and Darren Myer. The Hansells have taken home Best of Show trophies at various shows in Iowa, and although show trophies aren't our main concern, they are notable gratifications.

Well, it's her truck. We have confidence in Weeza's off-road prowess and are eager to see Jay's next undertaking - Weeza's Revenge.
