There is no pairing of photos I could come up with that better exemplifies the years-long restoration of the piece of history that is Evel Knievel s former Mack haul rig than the two above. I took both, the first (left) on the occasion of the rig s arrival at the small fleet and sometime custom shop of BPW Transport owner-operator Brad Wike in Lincolnton, N.C., in February 2012, the second upon unveiling of the resto job at the Great American Trucking Show in August of 2015.
