I’d love to have an old yoter pickup to bang around in. She's sweet mate. Old clunky and with the turning circle of the Titanic, but I love driving her. No lectrics or computer, just old school tech, but I've taken her through some rough country including the Simpson desert in outback Aussie. |

It's funny how techniques can cross genres. I've been using the stipple/glue effect for years when trying to represent a cast effect on armour. You've done a superb job here tcoat. Love the tip about nuln oil and chrome too. I also drive a Toyota, but as she's gunmetal in colour I must admit to being one of the plebs who own drab vehicles.  I named her Tess, short for testosterone, because when I brought her Home, my wife laughed and called her a big boys toy, hence testosterone. She's an old 92 model ute, what you folks in the States would call a pickup. She's 4wd and has a really big bullbar for tailgating Hondas.  1) Trucks are OK in Gunmetal 2)Hilux? 3) I am NOT American (note my spelling of colour, armour, etc) 4) How did you let a Honda in front of you to start with? |

I’d love to have an old yoter pickup to bang around in. Before I bought the FRS I kicked around the idea of getting an old truck. Wanted something in the "mini pickup genre such as a late 60s to mid 70s Datsun or Toyota. Much like my old Datsun pickup I modeled. For the prices they wanted for those things now I just went with a brand new car! |

OMG! I have committed the ultimate sin, referring to a Canadian as an American I have a close Canadian mate here and she will slap me when I tell her. My apologies mate. Yes Tess is a HiLux twin cab. I was looking for a victim |

If I sold her today I would get what I paid for her. |

kyledehart5 - if this Toyota crowd is giving you a hard time, I got your back brother! My summer toy is a 2013 Civic Si in sunburst orange. Although I'm not completely sure which side of the fence I'm on really since my wife drives an Impreza... Possibly the best car we've ever owned. This Dart build is looking great! Bookmarked. I don't want to miss this one.

Sweet! Excellent tip for vinyl tops! On hold while I wait for the right burgundy gloss paint to come in. The hull red I used as primer looks great on it's own but need the depth of the gloss. |

I've got a couple of these in the stash. Great work on that top, I'll have to give that a go. And, the color choice is very cool. I agree, cars nowadays are pretty blah in appearance as far as colors.
