I got the truck polished and waxed. Just picked up the sign board today.

 

 

You certainly won't meet yourself coming down the road. It looks almost new.

 

looks good. definitely a nice truck. my only problem with vehicles this nice is they are almost too nice to drive or actually use. i know my dart rarely leaves storage because it is almost too nice to drive anywhere other than car shows or from storage to my place. i learned with my elcamino that it is hard to enjoy using them regularly without ending up with scratches/dings from people who have to park right next to you in a empty parking lot. there is only a couple place i don't mind going where i feel like it is safe from getting scratched or dinged but even then certain spots have to be open. with beat up vehicles new scratches and dings don't seem to hurt as much.

 

When I have an old cars or truck, for show, it's nice, but not show quality nice. Then again, I usually paint my stuff with a roller and brush.

 

the elcamino still photographs great and shows well but if you look at it close there is many issues with the paint and scratch and it hurts my soul when i think i have noticed some new ones. it always annoys me that people can be that careless to scratch someone elses vehicle especially when it is older and more irreplaceable car. finding a clean older car is a lot harder in the rust belt and i lucked out to get the elcamino. the dart just got painted 2 years ago and only had the glass put back in last fall. it was a solid car but had typical vinyl top issues and damage was too far to correct without a complete re-paint. otherwise i liked how it used to look more than the fresh paint. most of my other vehicles are mainly primer or cheap vehicles that don't hurt the soul as much if a new mark shows up here or there

 

When I got my truck, I never got cut off in traffic.


Go ahead, try to cut me off in traffic.


It looks better now. Nothing special, but the hunters around here like it olive drab.

 

i like having vehicles like this. it is part of why i left the rear bumper on my 1 ramcharger as it is. it really isn't pretty overall but a decent vehicle.
