In the last 5-years Tjin Edition has toured the nation in their 40ft double-decker trailer and every year it seems like a new skin is attached to it. Over the weekend Gene, Denny and I had the chance to take some exclusive behind the scene shots of the Tjin Edition tailer getting re-skined.
It’s a busy time for them because the tour kicks off in Charlotte, North Carolina at the Charlotte Spring AutoFair on the weekend of April 8th. So, you can imagine the prep work involved in getting the cars and displays together, along with the trek across the country. The trailer was one of the last major projects on the to-do list.
Peaking at the photos gives me the assumption that Falken, Forgestar, iForged, Magnaflow, Webasto, Braille Battery, Escort, Glow Shift, Royal Purple, Universal Technical Institute (UTI), Baer Brakes, AirLift, Vortech, Lysholm, Paxton, and Gurnade are on board this year for the 2011 Tjin Edition Roadshow.
It should be a very exciting year as their 2011 Ford Mustang and the UTI Ford Fiesta travel to over 25 shows! In addition, the UTI Ford Fiesta will be given away to a lucky soul, you can enter to win the UTI Fiesta at UTI’s web site at www.utigarage.com and for tour dates and about The Tjin Edition Roadshow visit their web site at www.tjineditionroadshow.com or facebook at www.facebook.com/TjinEdition.
In the meantime, check out these exclusive shots as they work through the night and into the morning to complete the wrap on time! It took a 10ft. scaffolding, 3 dudes, 20 hrs., a loud stereo that apparently loved Wiz Khalifa’s Black and Yellow, and motivation to complete this 40ft. x 14ft. masterpiece.
A HUGE thanks to Gene and Denny for all their help, to Adam from Unique for letting us use his shop, and a tiny thanks to Red for being Red and all his hard work on Saturday night!
