Dark Blue Dime
Scott Skattum's '01 Chevy S-10 Xtreme
Louisville, Tennessee
We Say: We ran into Scott a couple years back at our Havoc show. He entered his dark blue Dime in the Sport Truck Challenge and we watched him blast the 1320 all day. Back then, the truck was pretty stock, but it looks like Scott has been busy. He has added all kinds of audio equipment and a body kit to his project. Hopefully he won't stop the customizing, because we really want to see him build a feature truck.

No Speed Limit
Rob Schwarz's '03 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4
Somewhere In Germany
We Say: Rob gets to do something most of us can't--blast his truck to 110 mph. Rob lives in Germany and says he gets a kick out of planting the gas pedal to the floor and leaving it there. Can you imagine blasting by Beemers and Mercedes in a big-ass four-door Hemi-powered Ram? We can.

Young Gun In The Great White North
Zach Russell's '88 GMC Sierra
Anchorage, Alaska
We Say: Now 18 years old, Zach bought the Sierra when he was 13 for $500. He has done all of the body and paintwork himself, with a little help from his dad. He busted his butt working in the summer to pay for everything on the truck. Initially, it was going to be a driver until he started reading custom-truck mags. That was all it took to keep him wanting to do more and more to it. Good job, Zach, and keep us posted on the progress.
