Nice work Bob, i think it's perfect for a daily beater, a little rust a little dirt and i like that rear tire it looks like it's low on air and the for sail sign is a nice detail.

I really like this one. Its very life-like in that you used to see those kind of cars running in the rust belt years ago. it didn't take long for a car 15 years old to look like that. The sad part is that the price is about what one would see on some of the ones found along the highways of this country!!
Great job again!
I still have hopes that the project will turn out good, I just need to remind myself the goal is to always enjoy the process, improve when and where I can, but understand that if I only accept perfection, I will be detracting from the reason I build to be

Thanks guys...I built her the way I found my old '62 galaxie XL...she was sitting on the side of a barn and had one less zero on the price tag{back then}.
Ran rather well for 116k on the clock...wasn't even a 20 footer, but that 352 FE ran great.
This one brought back some memories for me...hope it does for you as well.......
