A couple I was able to get photos of. Now that the humidity level is dropping here on the east coast of FL the goodies are starting to come out more.

This is something one of the model companies should consider offering.

Not so interesting, you say?  Look a bit closer.  That rough paint job is completely done in adhesive tape, including the wheel covers.  Parking lot ding?  No problems, just peel off that tape strip and put on another.  Genius, I tells you, genius.

The question is: how many sheets of bare-metal foil did it take to chrome your Honda?

Enough to pay for a proper paint job?  Including prep?  Oh, and not mine (its in the background). ?

Great! I've just bought the Revell kit of this and converted it to a pick-up truck!

Parked in front of the garage where I dropped off my Pinto to get some engine work done on it. That fender emblem is for real, 4 speed with bench seat.

Do you know if it is the 425 HP or the 385Hp engine? That is the original shifter, and the seats even look like OEM.

Not sure about HP rating.  Saw it yesterday while I was down there and they had the hood open.  It is running finned valve covers and an aftermarket air cleaner.

There is an exact twin to that car down here in FL. Same color interior as well.

And this is a little unique. We just added the Ford Performance FP700 package to one of our trucks. 2023 F150 XLT.

22" wheels, exhaust, some stripes, custom leather, dashboard plate, and a supercharger. Now putting out around 700hp. Hence the name of the package.

I'm trying to convince them to lower the truck a little. A 4/5" drop would look awesome on this. 

Not sure why we added the ugly mudflaps though.
