Nice and crusty-rusty. I really like both models! The Chevelle looks very nearly used up. Only one little nit to pick: The beautifully rusted-out right quarter panel on your Chevy Cameo pickup wouldn't have riusted out that badly: The outer bed of the Cameo Carrier pickup was fiberglass panels laid over a standard Chevy pickup bed. You did a great job with the rust-out effect, but unfortunately on a completely rustproof panel! That's OK - Not too many people today realize that. I've been a die-hard Chevy guy roughly forever, and remember reading about these pickups when you would still see one on the road occasionally in the late 1960's, when I wasn't yet 10 years old.

absolutly right on the fiberglass panels. but don't feel bad Randy. i once totaly rusted a studebaker allante which i found out later has a fiberglass body. when someone pointed it out to me i said it was a one of a kind concept car with an all metal body that had been long forgotten. lol :D anything to save face.lol :D
