Martinius, Your avatar cracks me up. The way the truck boils smoke off the rear tire when launching make me think the cop car doesn't have a...
Is it the long or short bed?
The very first thing we do is toss the hinges. We fit the hood/fenders/firewall gaps and THEN fiddle with the hinges. You have too many things...
