You know thats what I like about this hobby. Dispite what the rivet counters say it is a hobby where you can do what you want and do it your way. I have always thought that and still do, that the person at the shows and what not who want everything point blank and perfect have a jelousy streak when they look at a model that they never built but know its a fantastic build. I have run into a lot of these type people who turn their noses up at one of my Drug throuigh hell and weathered models and reached the conclusion that they are to affraid to take that first step off the showroom floor and into the real world of a working rig. Once you do this a whole new world opens up for ya.
I think this is a fantastic looking rig and wouldn't change a thing on it. You are walking further and further into the reality of the working truck and its progression though life. Very good job and attention to detail.

I also agree with what William, and Joris said. While I absolutely have all kinds of respect for those who can accurately replicate a one to one subject. My enjoyment comes from the build and be creative, but not all that accurate. I guess the whole point is to enjoy yourself and to share with others of like mind.
Be Well Gator

The last blinking blue light I saw at K-mart was sitting behind me in the parking lot on top of another car.

LOL I hope it wasn't Buford T Justice. Only 1 or 2 left around here, all the others have been closed from the proliferation from wally-world & the mentality of support the Chinese economy & truck it all in from Bentonville AR. They built one of those "super sores" about 10 miles from me, & used the roof design for the south......Seems they just don't understand "snow load" particularly on a big flat roof..... Ap40
