I finally got around to getting started on my truck. Here is what is happening so far. As we progress into 2004 I have begun the

process of modification to my truck. It is a genuine homage to Road Warrior. Starring Mel Gibson, this movie was a tale of men and

machines battling for fuel. The movie featured a fleet of highly modified vehicles. This truck would have been an easy fit for the movie.

You may ask, "What's up with the name?" Well, White Zombie had a song called Black Sunshine and this truck fits the song pretty

good. By the way, high riders rule.

When in doubt, floor it.
