That is the same way I was introduced to this breakfast. I was driving Motor Transport for Union Oil Company out of the Colton Ca. terminal. My first day as a ride along with another driver we left the terminal to make a delivery. He pulled into a very small road side place in what was then the middle of nowhere between Colton and Riverside along the river there. One, I had never stopped for breakfast before when I was on the clock but I was assured this was normal. After that this was the standard by which all future breakfast joints were judged.

I think Claude"s explanation is correct. In fact if you check some of the Revell kits offered for stock bodied Chevrolet pickups they use the same method as well as the Chevrolet Suburban kit.

The body and paint look almost to nice to be a work truck. Amazing to look at old photos and see just what some of these old rigs could do when they had to.

Best described as " ridden hard and put away wet". This is an old reference to an abused horse but it seems to relate to how this build looks. A lot of little details inside the cab interior and the bed. The weathering looks very realistic for a truck that was used as a tool but never really cared for.

Beautiful looking build from concept to final design. The way the different body parts are blended together so smoothly and of course the paint work.

That doesn't look like Yucca Valley to me. Our local at the time was in the outer burb's west of Chicago and snow fall like that was common in the winter. But ya that looks like the exact same paint colors. I have seen many with this paint colors and I think it must of been popular at the time since many others in town had the same setup.

The beauty of a Kustom build has often been to blend elements from different cars together to build something to your personal style. Great looking paint work as well.

This is different, but you blended body styles from 3 different eras and managed to makes look great. Maybe four eras counting the chassis and engine.

Build it your way, what ever way makes you happy.

Let's not go there please.

Always fun to build a model of something you own or have owned in the past. Great flood of memories.

Try it some time with over easy eggs with sausage patties on top of the biscuits and extra gravy.

Our family car in '56 was a 210 4 door post sedan in Nassau Blue and White thru the center with matching interior. Blue Flame 6 and 3 on the tree. Dad wouldn't even spring for a radio or white walls. Still it was a good looking car.

Great looking interior and engine. The body color looks a lot like Ford's Calypso Coral.

I don't know how much of the parts in this kit are included in the coupe kit, but it looks like it could be the roof insert for a coupe body style.

Thinking back to 1959 I don't think AMT, or what ever they were calling themselves at that time, or Revell did any 1/24th or 1/25th models of Chrysler products. JoHan may have had the only offerings at that time.

I think it looks great. This wouldn't have worked for NASCAR since they would only have El Caminos and Rancheros racing but I think this looks as if it could have been.

Sometimes they make changes just to make changes and not always improvements.

Amazing especially looking at what you had to start with. This had to have been built back when you just glued on every option in the box. Great looking paint and the top turned out very nice in the pictures. Very clean looking cruiser.

Great design combining the different body styles and the faded paint treatment.

The little Celica GT's were a great little car and was almost like a 4 cylinder Supra. My favorite Supra Demo was a burnt red color with the black wing over the rear window. One of the smoothest manual transmissions of the day.

Beautiful looking Charger. As I commented on your WIP I like these without the stripes since they had such great looking body lines. Nice wheel choice.

Looks great and I like the red light add on.

Beautiful looking paint finish and the color is really bright. Very clean looking trim details.

Glad to see you're getting back to this one. The weathered paint looks great.
