Great looking build. I like how you adapted the chassis to this body, and it looks like it belongs here.

As mentioned by others the labor laws are all over the place from state to state. The first thing to check is the employee manual that the employer should have given you a copy of when you were hired. Without a written statement from your employer your benefits are whatever they say they are at the time they state them. California is what they call a "Wright to work" state. That means you have the wright to work for however long the employer wants you to work for whatever they want to pay you. Beyond whatever they have given you in writing is your word against theirs if you have to go to the Labor Board.

Check the back side of the packaging. Pretty sure this isn't made around here based on the way the warning is worded.

It's plastic. build it the way you want.

The addition of a four wheel drive set up and the wheels and tires really change the appearance. The way you painted this also looks great.

Beautiful looking restoration. The JoHan kits from this era seemed to have great body fidelity.

Great looking heavy duty truck.

Paint is look'n real smooth.

I agree with everyone else on the interior and especially the gauges. Nice detailing on the chassis.

The grill looks realistic.

Great looking wheels.

I liked trying to guess the date that some of the pictures were taken. I would look for the newest car in the picture and go by that. I admit to recognizing the local of some of the pictures since I had either been there before or even in areas that I had lived at one time. Most of the pictures predate my time but others bring back childhood memories.

This was just something that I noticed and wasn't sure if had an effect with the fit. That being the case this may be an area to consider removing material to help with the fit.

I like the pink color. Remember seeing more than a few this color when they were new.

Great looking Buick, and the paint match in the pictures looks perfect. Very nice clean build style.

Beautiful looking Buick. I agree with you on the GM Flat Top cars. The design makes the roof look like it's floating over the body.

The body mods look like it was kited this way going in. I like the nice clean trim and the low-key grocery getter look.

Great looking paint and color. I like the stance and the wheels and tires.

Interesting looking conversion. Your idea if filling the area to create a new C pillar might be a little easier if you use the area around the rear window opening from the Corvette doner. This would give you a good smooth window mounting and then fill the void with sheet plastic from there.

I just got done reviewing your build post. You had mentioned the tabs under the front fenders. I was wondering if you have found a reason for them being there. Something came to mind a possible reason for them. In the picture they appear as if they could be a guide for the inner fender/engine compartment part. I wonder if they might be there to keep the inner fender from spreading outward when they are mounted under the body?

Very nice-looking fab work on the body mods.

New styling trend ? Maybe someone needs to take away his J C Wittney catalog.

I admit to decorating the dashboard of my car man y years ago when a wood trim dash was a thing. The guy I sold it to called me about a year later to cuss me out.

Great looking chassis setup. Did you have to do anything with the wheel base ?

Thank you for the video and the explanations. I would have thought your '63 Chevy conversion would have gotten first place, but I watched all of your work on that build so I'm prejudice I guess.
