I'm not a fan of custom work by and large, but I like old chopped Mercs and some mods on the 30s and 40s cars and trucks.
Tri five chevys, (trucks and cars), should be a protected species.
The design engineers from about 1950 untill the early 1970s were a different breed. Back then you could spot a car and actully tell who made it and what year it was. Now they all look alike. I miss the good old days.

If I was any more parallel with you on that I'd say we were riding the same rail

. I stopped trying to know what car is what a long time ago. But I can see a tiny blip of anything from about '70 back and identify it. I'm even like that with trucks after the GMT400s. If I need one and get one I guess I'll learn some. That would be out of need not want. I actually felt that way when I ordered my '92, but that truck became this cowboy's beloved pony

Back in the day, I could tell you the make and model of vehicle at a glance. Now, they all look like jelly beans and are hard to tell apart. I have a Kia Forte, and driving on the street, the Ford Focus looks so much alike that until I get close enough to get blue oval breath, I can't tell them apart.

Now that you mention it I see what you are saying. It does resemble a tea cup more than a Chevy Truck
