Great looking body panel fit and finish along with the OD paint finish. Some equipment numbers and would fit in with the Motor Pool.

Glad you're back and hopefully all is well with you and the Mrs. The paint finish here looks great and very metallic. Clean body trim.

I breakout just looking at this stuff. Had a bad experience while still of grade school age and a few times as an adult. Have always needed doctor approved attention to fight it. Please be careful trying to clear this stuff.

I go to the Costco station whenever I'm in that area because of the price. The main price setter in our area is called QT or The Quick Trip. The one closes to our home is 298.9 and the ones close to the metro are at 287.9. They tend to price their gas at whatever they think the traffic will bare.

Great looking paint color and finish. Like the paint details on the headlights and the way you detailed the engine.

Great looking interior. I remember adding those style of head rests to an older car years ago as it was the style of the time. Like the door lock detail that you added.

Beautiful looking cars.

Stopped at Costco in Lenexa Ks a couple of days ago and paid 2.79.9 for regular top tier gas. The big difference is the state sales taxes on a gallon of gas.

This problem with cars and truck with powerful engines is nothing new if you were to look back to the '50's and 60's when these vehicles were termed as "Muscal Cars" we used to have bumper stickers that stated, "Stamp out lower performance drivers not high-performance cars". This was manly in response to high insurance rates on those of us under 35 years of age at the time. The horsepower race between manufacturers has been going on for a very long time. Someone mentioned the difference in the handling between a rear-wheel-drive vehicle and a front wheel vehicle and that is a true statement. I'm agreeing with this as a previous owner of both types of vehicles. Both have advantages as well as disadvantages depending on the road conditions, but the main issue remains with the person behind the wheel. I have observed either type of vehicle get in trouble through no fault of the vehicle and solely because of operator error.

I hear some Ford guys talk about a "Marti Report". They are supposed to be able to get copies of the original window sticker and list of factory equipment from there. Might be a place to look depending on how important that information might be to you.

Your description of the Lindberg kit is being kind. The blend of the Impala and the haul look great. You might Google "Chris Craft Century" boats for ideas that they used in the late fifties for a craft with a sliding roof on a luxury boat they offered.

Beautiful paint design and finishes. The short bed models were always more popular in the 1:1 version. Like the revers hinged hood (bonnet) and bed cover. The wheels and tires compliment the paint treatment, and the stance looks great.

I'm impressed with what you made out of the cab you started with. The cab could best be described as a lump. The chassis and fenders along with the bed makes this a great looking rat rod.

Great looking paint and interior colors.

Beautiful looking body work and paint. Like the detailed panel lines as well as the wheel and tires setup.

This person knows what he's talking about and explains the problem in a calm manner. In my area the same type of issue seems to center on high performance Dodge Chargers in the hands of low performance drivers which is the bases of the whole problem anyway.

The Coast Guard should never have allowed this contraption to be operated in the first place.

What color are you using on the lower body?

Nice color with lots of metallic in the finish.

Great job blending the two together. The paint finish and color look great.

Alway like how your back stories better describe the overall look of your builds. Like the "stylish" looking bed sides. The patina is very realistic looking along with the service body and equipment.

Like the realistic looking paint finish and body trim. The chassis change makes a big difference in the accuracy in that area as well.

Had to get my sunglasses to look at the color, great paint finish. Like the wheels.

Like the paint treatment along with the wheels and tires.

Great looking "50"s paint colors. Notice some slicks on the back.
