Like the very clean looking body finish and the realistic looking finish on the convertible top. The body trim looks great as well.

Like the new taillights & license plate design.

The ones in the KC Metro area including a new one that just opened about 5 miles from my house haven't carried viable kits for more than a couple of years and I rarely even bother checking them anymore.

Ford started using the 5 lugs on 5" center wheels around 1940 thru the 1948-year model, they continued to use that same bolt pattern on their 1/2 ton pickups and most Mercury's for many decades.

The "Roundabouts" and now "Diverging Diamonds" are becoming very common here as well. The problem was getting drivers to learn how they are expected to move thru these traffic designs without running into each other and not driving straight across a roundabout as so many did early on. There still are too many drivers in this area that blow through stop signs and even red lights at times. Now there are groups trying to sue the cities that are bringing back the "Red Light Camaras". The driver problem had gotten so bad a few years ago that some cities had to use the camaras for both enforcement issues as well as having proof just which driver did what that caused an accident. A group sued saying the camaras violated their rights, but the number of intersection accidents had dropped significantly during the time they were in use. They won in court and the traffic camaras went away for a few years. The problem is that there are far too many drivers that just flat ignore the basic rules of the road and operate a motor vehicle as if they are the only ones on the road and heaven help anyone else on the road. They seem to forget that it is their bad driving that has caused the camaras return.

Hope someone will share their pictures with those that can't attend.

Like how you turned this into a short bed pickup. Great looking paint color scheme and finish. The Trike is the perfect fit for the trailer.

Great looking Jaguar. Like the clean looking engine and tilt hood.

Beautiful paint color and finish. Like the brakes and wheel & tire detailing.

Great sinister looking paint work. Like how you matched the Chevy Rally wheel centers to the interior color. You mentioned the front fender mounting issue. Having also built one of these I think that they built the kit with such close tolerances that even with the stock engine it can be a struggle getting the fenders mounted.

Great looking body proportions and paint color and finish. Like the wheel and tire setup and the engine looks realistic.

Like the clean smooth look of the body and the custom body work. Great paint color and finish.

Like the paint color and a great looking finish. Despite these kits age it is still a good base to work with and only the door hinges can be the only stumbling block.

Going into the metro area for shopping and followed this great looking '55 Chevy 210 for several miles until he turned off a couple of miles before our off ramp. He had no problem pacing traffic at 75 mph and had a low rumble exhaust note. I was driving so my wife took the pictures.

Great looking Corvette and the American 5 spokes look at home here.

Great looking paint color and finish. Like the day-2 driver style.

Like the body and frame color.

Beautiful paint color and finish. The body side stripes look good and makes the body look longer. The wheels are the biggest visual improvement giving this a more modern look than the previous wheels.

Always liked the Hang 10 trim option on these.

Got the tire and rear fender clearance issues done and the fenders attached to the chassis. The engine has been repainted in a more correct looking '60's era Pontiac shade of blue. Plug wires are now attached to the heads and pinned the headlights to the fenders.

You're going to need a good attorney. These pictures will help them point out to the other insurance company what it is they are going to have to replace not to mention your emotional pain and suffering. I don't advocate trying to sue for personal gain, but you do need to be made whole again.

Hopefully someone will have pictures to share for those of us unable to attend.

Getting this realistic looking patina finish, especially under hood and chassis, can be more labor intensive than a nice single-color finish. I liked how you created the plumbing and the ram for the dump bed. Opening the doors meant you had to create the floor area between the interior and the doors as well.

Great looking paint and flames. Clean looking engine detailing.

Beautiful paint finish and like the sinister look. The engine and chassis look great. The '69 Camaros hold a special place on my mind having owned a 1:1 in Hugger Orange Camaro for many years. No, it never looked anywhere as nice as this.
