"I hope y'all like it.".....well duh! Thats a true working class truck. No time to keep it washed, to busy picking up cars!

Looks GREAT Squirrel, and I dig the peice of fiberglass broke out on the fender. You have been keeping this one hid.

I hinted at it on the phone the other night, I knocked that chunk outta the fender while I was doing the others.

It took me awhile to talk myself into this one because of the cost, I dropped $24.95 + shipping on this a couple years ago, it's one thing to mess up a car that cost $4.44, quite another to mess up on a $25.00 piece.

Let me tell ya though, if I could find a source for these at $10 or less, I'd definitely put some on the bay. Paying $25 each, I'd have to start the bidding at $40, something tells me that I wouldn't get many takers.

Gus Poe is my uber reliable goto guy for my hauling needs.
Gus Poe is actually the name I used when I was acting in safety films and is also my pen name. Gus is my nick name, Poe is my mother's maiden name.

So you're that kid Edgar Alan bricked up inside the wall with a black cat to see who would eat who first! I thought all that meowing whenever you watched Pinky and the Brain was a little strange

Nice wrecker
