Happy Birthday Dylan Thaxton!

Dylan Thaxton is turning 16 years old on Sunday, January 13, and his parents, George and Dawna Thaxton have bought him a 1978 Chevy Z28. The greatest thing about it: Dylan has no idea. George brought the car to Shawn to put graphics and finishing touches on it, and it will be presented to Dylan at his birthday party on Saturday.

A candid of Dad, slaving away on his sons car.

Cody Day, future Professional Bull Rider, stopped by and threw in a helping hand to sand.

The car is prepped, and Shawn is spraying black.

Tada! George and Shawn reveal the back end to us.

Time for 'Deal or No Deal'! The crowd says, "Don't settle yet! See what else there is."

Talking to the Banker (Dad). Dylan turned away $1,000 for a remote control jeep, $2,000 for a brown van, and $3,000 for a Honda Accent.

Dylan sees his car for the first time.

And, Shawn brings out the mullet, giving Dylan a piece of his past.

One greatful 16 year old.


Dad gets the first ride.

See ya!

Checkin' out what's under the hood.

Dad, Dylan, and Uncle Boyd.

Happy Birthday, Dylan!
