Excellent build, weathering is perfect. Also enjoyed your backstory.

Maybe should'a skipped that last Tequila.

Beautiful execution and kit-bashing. Really like the customization of the cab, very nice work.

Looks like after Martinsville or Bristol with Earnhardt Sr., DW, or maybe the Allisons in hot pursuit. Very nice, realistic build.

Glad to have another Tarheel on the forum. Whereabouts are you located in the great state of NC?

Very well-developed concept. Before I saw the picture with the T-Bird roof I was thinking some form of buttress to break up the vertical C pillar would make it look better.

Sorry, the ones I have are destined for a build I have in the works. Hadn't planned on this build but it just sort of fell in place.

I am holding the AMT '53 Ford windshield until you decide whether you want it or not. If it is too small then I will hold on to it, no need sending you something you cannot use. Let me know your decision.

Great looking wagon, looks factory original.

I have you covered. If you live in the lower 48 states message me your address and it is yours..

Picked up a couple AMT '64 Mercury kits at Ollie's. Their flyer mentioned a "huge buyout". All we have local is a few more of the Mercs, a couple of Cement Mixers, a Fruehauf closed trailer, some different ships, P-39 Aircobra, and the 1/48 fuel truck.

Really love this kit. Built one of the original kits back in the mid/late 60's, it got sold with the rest of my collection when I stepped out in the mid 80's. Since then I have built one more and have another in the stash.

Looks the part, this style modified are a bit foreign to me, although I have a similar, partial build Mustang in a box waiting for motivation. Nice dirt work on the chassis.

Looks like a winner, I'll try to be there. Will be calling for a vendor table within a few days.

Excellent build under way here. As the others have said your attention to detail is above reproach and outstanding in every way.

Looks exactly like something you would see roaming the North Carolina seashore with fishing rod holders on the front bumper. Nice build.

From a Grade B movie, and that is being nice, second feature at the Drive-in (remember those). Movie was titled "Hot Rods from Hell". The main bad guy, leader of the hot rod gang drove a '60 Vette with missing front bumper and straight axle. I've only seen it twice, once at a Drive-In in the early 70's and again on an obscure cable channel around 2005. Was filmed in B&W and totally cheesy plot line. Gang harasses a family traveling through the Nevada desert, one pre-teen son and of course an attractive late teens daughter. Law was more interested with Betty at the diner, so Dad had to take matters into his own hands. There were some other pretty cool cars, but the leader had to have the coolest.

Very nice work, some very interesting concepts in this build.

Looks good, looking forward to more additions.

Kind of reminds me of the Rivian (sp) Cybertruck. Wonder if Elon might own a copy of this thing?

As the others have said, this is a piece of fine art. After looking at the pictures of the 1:1 cab area, I am wondering if you are going to model the cobweb running from the monitor to the base. Just kidding, I am truly amazed at the detail you are putting into this build.

Very nice build. The 57 Wagons made good business sales cars. My Dad had one he bought used and it had stickers for Baby Ruth and Butterfinger candies on the bumper.
