Notes:

The car was initially scheduled to be released as the 2011 NASG Convention car, but there were manufacturing issues at that time, severe enough to cause the late Lee Johnson to pull the plug on the project. Pre-Size was able to obtain the original work, and continue the project to finally bring it to completion.
