 I just got back from the Detroit custom shop where we're building the three 2008 TOOLS of the Trade Site Commanders for this year's LENOX-sponsored tour. The Dodge 5500's with their Reading Body units are in a secure work bay at Special Projects, ready for the rest of their customization before launching in late September. Special Projects builds show cars and trucks from the ground up for all the major manufacturers and from what they showed us from past projects - our Site Commanders will receive the highest quality detailing and construction ever!
