Can you do this for me? What’s the price?!

[@rebeccahutcheson599]

I'd like to know the company that you got the rap from. You did an excellent job on getting that truck wrap it looks like an excellent paint job. This would make me want to get my convertible out and drive it if I can get it redone. Thank you you guys are awesome

The skill set of you both and cooperation shows what people are capable of when “Ambition Strikes” well done. The custom area for the dogs you love is just great!

To say WOW on what you guys just did/accomplished would be an understatement...This is truly a work of art!

[@singmysong1167]

Looking at ALL the fancy tools, quality materials used, and watching the whole detailed time-eating process and skills necessary, I would say this gives me a whole new appreciation for someone even attempting to build a camper DIY or a factory build of one camper!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

There certainly a lot of pieces to the puzzle that is building a camper!

[@SacRoScz]

One of the best build out there... As a machinist myself, I must admire precision and effort put in your work.

[@sergioscience2303]

For me it is the perfect video. Smart and skillful people. Lovely smiley couple, nice background music, sped up to see the whole process. If we have a significant other that is also our friendly and helpful partner that shares the same interest, that’s a blessing.

[@tomrandall4871]

I am a engineer and really appreciate all the quality of detail you both put into this world class camper! This supersedes all of the big brand camper builds I have seen out there! If you decide to do this as a business let me know! I have a 2020 GMC Canyon Denali crew cab 4x4 diesel. Excellent work!

[@getinthespace7715]

There was a time, I use to say , if the dead could speak, it wasn’t until later that I discovered that there was one who defeated death and could tell us about salvation. And his name is Jesus of Nazareth. Hell is pleading to believers to go tell. The story of Lazarus, the rich man and the beggar “And He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment” Luke 16:19-31, There is a place call hell “and where is also a loving Heavenly Father who cares and is for us and not against us, not to harm us but to give us a hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 John 3:16 King James Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” but it’s by faith in his Son.
