  1. Beautiful paint finish. Great body mods and engine detailing.
  2. Realistic looking body finishes. Remember seeing more than a few push trucks long ago that would look just like this by the end of the night.
  3. Radical body mods and the paint looks great.
  4. Beautiful paint finish and colors. Clean looking body trim. like the engine details and the wheels.
  5. Like the new paint color scheme.
  6. All true from what I have seen. That said often the guy with the dash cam is just waiting for traffic to move or just gets rear ended because the other driver is doing something other than driving their car.
  7. Beautiful and very realistic looking paint finishes and trim detailing. Chevrolet's color that looked almost dead on to this was called Firethorn.
  8. Used to live near Pismo Beach in central Cal. years ago. Anyone could drive out on to the beach, and some would get stuck in the soft sand at low tide. There were more than a few Sunday mornings when I would go out in my Baja style type 1 and survey the ones that didn't get off the beach by high tide.
  9. Love watching dash cam videos on You Tube. Sometimes you just know what's coming.
  10. Having been in a similar situation with an aging parent I can sympathize with your situation. Often it may be the fear of actually dying besides any basic mental issues. Unfortunately, at this point it is not uncommon for someone to be very unappreciative of everything you are doing for them. Just know you're doing the right thing as a person, but there comes a time when maybe Hospice Care may be the best answer.
  11. Great looking paint finishes and color. The plow is very realistic looking details.
  12. Excellent bed and content details. Like your bumper sticker on the bottom of your tailgate. Great paint finishes and signage.
  13. Great looking body adaptation of the roof.
  14. Beautiful paint finish and the engine and compartment is the most colorful I've seen in a long time. Like the undercarriage lighting.
  15. Beautiful looking paint finish and color. Did you use the kits decal stripes or paint? I like the accurate looking under hood and engine colors along with the chassis. Ride height? Looks much like the real one that is in my area when I've seen him on the street.
  16. Great looking undercarriage paint detailing.
  17. Maybe she thinks she's the Alpha Female.
  18. Test fitting and mockups done many times before even thinking about paint seems to be the norm anymore. While the detailing that the kit makers are putting into kits is improving with most new issues these details also make the different parts hard to get to align with one another often. Your mention of issues with the interior fitting on your latest build and I have shared the same problem as well. When test fitting the interior also look at the area where the windshield and rear window would mount. One area that seems to happen most often has to do with the width of the area where the dash in mounted in the interior and where that will set inside the body. The windshield will sometimes extend below the point where the top of the dash meets the underside of the lower windshield molding, and the windshield will prevent the interior from mounting high enough into the body and in turn does not allow the chassis to mount inside of the body correctly. County to ten and taking a break can also help.
  19. The last sentence of my post was meant to be a tung in cheek remark.
  20. Our Lab used to do much the same thing when napping. Always sounded like he was dreaming of running and barking at something and having a generally good time doing it. Not unlike when we dream sometimes.
  21. Great looking paint finish and the color looking great on this body.
  22. I also like your color choice, remember seeing a one owner '40 long ago that was almost the same shade.
  23. Great looking engine detailing. Nice smooth paint work and trim.
  24. Great looking finishes and boom details.
