I'm still playing with my grinder, since I found a way to dampen the vibes enough that I could use it after 3 years, it shouldn't surprise you who know me how I'm using it.

I do not think you over did the blue chevy truck to much. To a farmer like me it looks like it has been used to herd cattle in the pasture. They tend to make some rough dents in trucks. I love the idea of it.

thay all look great ss. the trucks to me are dead on. but i hate to say it the challenger wheel well just dont look right. i would stick to a dremal with short cuts in the wells like you were doing . it looked perfect that way. but thats just me.

They all look great to me. Love the surface rust on the Challenger. And the wrecked Nova, WOW!!! I don't think you overdid it on the trucks either. :thumbsup:

I see what you mean, I like the look of it, but I couldn't give you any reasonable explanation for what hit it, or what it hit.

The blue truck is actually one of my 'mules', just trying out different stuff on it, and decided to paint it.

SS, AWESOME. I'm also one to say that you didn't overdo the trucks. Looks like a REAL wrecking yard in some of the pics.

I'm still looking for some of the different paints you suggested. I have to make a trip to the city to find them I guess.
I got a rotary tool for Christmas, so I've been cutting some cars, but I can't wait to start adding some paint.
