Some proud Shop staff standing around the chassis they spent rebuilding over 4 months.

Our most reliable chassis was rebuilt from the ground up. Our team spent time welding and grinding all the cracks out as well as all the wiring and air systems were replaced, and the chassis was painted and decaled.

They recently performed a CVIP and are sending it out on the road tomorrow to our Calgary location!
