 :)  Well, first things first.  Thanks to James2,  for helping me here.

Revell '91 Ford dually.  Box stock except for the tool box I scratched out.  I bought the kit to build a ramp style hauler, but ran out of steam before I got that far.

Did not paint the body, but did paint the undercarriage and interior.  My first time to apply a decal ( Lane Automotive ) to raw plastic, but it seems to have done well.  Tiny mirror in the windshield.  I took a chance, cut off the stem, and glued it directly to the glass with just a  spot of Model Master.  Smeared the windshield a minimum, no more than my normal sloppiness. 

Made two small marks on the front fenders, just, as the artists say, for a little entertainment.  Means nothing actually.    Added the Ford promotional bumper sticker to the tailgate.  Wondering how long those mirrors will stay on.

The trailer is from the Testor's kit, and was given to me by my life long friend, Bill Murphy.  I wish I would put a tire rack on it.    The steam thing, again.

Car is my # 14 Camaro late model from a year and a half, or so, that was on Fred's.  Sponsored by Ryan's 24 Hr Road Service. 

Hope y'all like it.  Thanks, again, to J2.

 :)  Thanks, Ed.  Yes, the trailer at Hobby Lobby. It is metal.   Goes together quickly.  An all purpose trailer, so no tire rack.  I have one other, with a tire rack I added.  I dislike white wall tires, so I painted them black on both.
