00:01Owned trucks, lived trucks, breathed trucks, it's been my whole life so far.
00:06This is filthy, burnt out truck, heaps of smoke.
00:26Yep, I'm Michael Ake, owner of Truckin' Stainless here in Brisbane, Australia.
00:31This is my truck that I've built for burnouts.
00:49It's got a 28 litre Cummins, that's a white 4000, 75 model.
00:55It's got twin turbos, all custom made.
00:58Passion for trucks has been since a young boy, I was a truck driver most of my life.
01:04And yeah, just had enough of it, wanted to get out of it, try something different.
01:09So we started at home, built it up from home, gone from there.
01:15I drew pictures of it when I first started building it and just sort of went from there.
01:20It's pretty much what it looks like on the picture.
01:24It's one of a kind.
01:36It started with a set of diffs, started with a set of diffs.
01:39Put the motor and box in place, string lined it on my concrete and we started building the truck from
01:46there.
01:47Yeah, it's pretty much all custom.
01:50The build's taken seven years.
01:52We go from starting with a cab that was russed out to putting it all together.
01:58Just every night, pretty much, yeah.
02:01After I'd finished work, I'd just go out there and just start working on that
02:03until I had enough and then go back up inside and then get up and do it all over again.
02:08It's a bit of old school look.
02:10We've got a lift up bumper.
02:13It all tilts out and lifts up so I can get over speed bumps and whatnot.
02:18It's a custom grill we've manufactured and all done here in the house.
02:22You see these gauges, they've all got our own custom truck and stainless logo in them.
02:27That's a pretty cool little feature we've got.
02:30It looks pretty good at night too, all light up.
02:33Up here we've got our front brakes.
02:34So we'll hold them down to do a burnout.
02:39We'll hold them down until we're done.
02:48The hardest part would be to...
02:52I was originally marrying the box and the motor up.
02:55Other than that, we ever just worked on it until we worked it out.
03:00The feature would be, I reckon, be the grill.
03:02You definitely like the front look of it.
03:05It's definitely in your face.
03:06A custom steering wheel here with a quick release.
03:09I've got the transformer logo over here because everyone reckons it's a bit of a bumblebee.
03:14The whole building process probably, I wouldn't have put a price to it, but yeah, probably $50,000.
03:22The engine is a V12, 7010 Cummins, 28 litre.
03:27It's rated at 900 horsepower and 4,000 foot pound of torque.
03:32They can go to like 2,300 horsepower or four turbos.
03:36That's really cracking.
03:38Nah, I don't think I'd ever sell it.
03:40It's just part of the family now.
03:41My friends are a bit jealous of it or filthy.
03:45It's all good.
03:46I get to take them for a run around the block and they soon change their mind.
03:49This truck is outstanding.
03:52Like, I really think it's beyond words.
03:55It's the best truck in Australia for sure.
03:58Yeah, I'm proud of the truck we've built, all the work we've done to it,
04:02and all the customisation, one of a kind kind of a truck.
04:07It's definitely different.
04:09Definitely proud of it.
04:17meineyeon is indigenous.
04:18Yes, that's where I am.
04:18Hydi Belaof, it's not Tusk, arol島,
04:21and that can drain us in their air of the car.
04:22there are no good parts ofibalse races come out in your,
04:22is there someone else around yourinch,
04:23if you want to remember?
04:23Where are you supposed to go?
