At least it's appropriately blue...blue a cylinder, blue the head gasket, blue the diff and blue both axle seals :-)

It's really looking crappy/good!

The pile of tires in the background of the first pic make it look like it's sitting in a junk yard.

Right I saw that to. Then I thought maybe I'll name this one the junk yard dog! Like the old school WWF.

Junkyard Dog was one of my favorites. I bet they have the action figure somewhere.

The truck looks amazing, truly. You've really nailed it.

The JYD thing is great. This might be more suitable to that 3D print, though it looks like the year might be off. This is a classic ford.

It would be cool to make a Sanford and son truck. It is a classic for sure.

Interior is looking pretty good now to besides it needs a little wash. It's a little to bright. Oh and a stearing column and stearing wheel. It was missing from the package!

Sweet, too bad he's gone, but probably good driver figure.

Figured you would have, too bad they don't have better customer service. Good to have a 3d printer handy!

Dude, that looks like total chit now...it's perfect! The rust run below the clearance lights is a class touch.
