Despite the red plastic issues this turned out very clean looking. Nicely detailed interior and trim.

You're right, this does look like one of Texas Metal's builds. I like the details like the spray in bed liner and the textured dash cover.

Great looking TA. I like the hat on the antenna, perfect touch.

I like the Pro Street vibe and the paint and details are all very clean looking.

Beautifully finished. Very classic looking color combination.

Great looking color for this. I also like how you used parts from here there and everywhere and brought them all together. Shows your great creativity.

Nice to see the unloved get a little love. Like you I always thought the Edsel was unique. I still remember all of the rather rude jokes about it's appearance. They also had some interesting two tone and even three tone color combinations.

Great looking paint work and I like the way you detailed the engine.

The Hugger Orange color was originally thought of as a Camaro color. The color became so well received and everyone seemed to want their other model Chevrolets that color it soon became available on the inter car line. That was the "IT" color for GM as even the Pontiac used it on the GTO Judge.

Bonus on the Firewall. Wise idea to reinforce the upper body parts for future work. The other thing is that if the roof moves around to much any glued joints and areas of body filler could crack or even break out.

I agree as that is how I have done it in the past. Today if I were building anything with the Cowl Induction Hood I would consider masking off the stripes and spray them. The decals have always been fussy and the white stripes on a dark color really requires two set to look right. Just my opinion , but that's the way I'll be doing them in the future.

I can wire my jaw shut and couldn't lose weight. What's the Dr. giving you to help. My Cardiologist be thankful for any help for me also.

I remember seeing articles featuring the Super Bee/truck and really liked it then and now. Never recall seeing the Charger before but I like it also. The proportions of the bed and body as well as the roof design make it look like something they may have done.

The paint and body details are great looking. Looks like the perfect weekend track day car.

Beautiful looking build. I would never have thought of that Grill, but it looks perfect on this. The body and paint are very smooth and the engine and chassis detailing is special as well.

The Red interior looks much better. Didn't want to say anything about the Green, just thinking it's your choice.

A small set back. Found some bubbling in the clear finish on the Sun Visor and the fender Skirts. After a 2 day bath in the Purple Pond I finally got back to bare plastic. Some trim had to be re glued. I'll repaint these parts by the week end and tidy up some of the chrome trim and install the windows.

Your body work is really coming together here.

Amazing attention to the smallest little detail.

Nicely done shackles.

I had to use Solvaset, and a lot of it, and the part of the decal near the rear edge of the hood still wanted to fold in a funny way. I was tempted to make a relief cut in the decal but held off and eventually the decal laid down. Lots of Solvaset.

I wonder if the "Balance" of the models appearance would look better with the rear stripe to match ? Maybe just try a thin bit of tape that isn't permanent on the rear just to see.

You might want to attend any city Console Meetings especially when the City Planning Commission is giving any reports about redo the streets in your area. You can contact the City Hall and they would be able to give you the time and place of any public meetings. There is a stage in the planning when the city would take input from those that would be directly effected by any changes. Many cities aren't very forth coming with this information as they are legally required to be with the citizens. This will help you better understand what it is they're thinking and they are supposed to hear you and how this action would impact you. If enough people share with them the problems that this may cause them the city may alter their plans to accommodate the citizens. Remember to present your issues in a calm and concise manor. Torches and Pitch Forks are a last resort if the city will not listen to your side of the issue.

Great looking shop truck. With no mufflers that has to be loud.

They are both great looking builds. I don't recall ever seeing one built with the stake bed before, but I like it. Very cleanly built.
