Flaming the Competition Most of you might remember this ride as being black with orange flames and once upon a time featured here in the pages of SSM. Well Heather Elsken of Grenada, MS is back yet again with a slew of changes with her Tacoma Ex cab.
With the cost of the ride being $18,000 back in 1996, Heather would dump in another $25,000 through out the build-ups. It took Heather with help from significant other, Joey, 8 years to build what you see having been featured many times before redoing it this time round. Although this ride is never complete in their eyes, it is merely rebuilt from time to time. The reason for building this ride was to simply build a driver as well as a showstopper. Heather has been involved in the scene for 10 years now and it shows from the detailed work put into the build up.
