The following are a few of his collection he had shared, what is amazing is he built most of these in his semi truck when he was all over the county long hauling...

I got to meet Chad at one of the IPMS Nationals; I believe it was in 2013 at Colorado. He was a fantastic person who always had a kind word for everyone. He will be very missed. I knew him both on the LEM and here. It always amazed me how well his work looked considering it was built on his rig as he traveled the country.

I'll be praying for his family. May he rest in peace.
