This thread makes me sad. I'd like to see some cool cars posted from everyone in this thread... Rules is rules (and apply even to positive and cats contributions  ) so as leadsleds really don't get as much attention on here as they could...  Miles deep paintwork with new chrome is one route, but my path is more "hard-as-nails" attitude with some miles on the clock  a '49 '50 mercury is a good start   or a 1940 mercury  a Hudson with fins is a left-field option   or UK based '46 Chevy  or something different  how about a new take on a classic theme in the form of a hi-tech 1949 Mercury  the plan can also be applied to brit tin (A70 Hereford? )  if anyone is feeling the urge, you can now buy non-rusty '49 Merdury fibreglass body & chassis kits to help you on your way www.acautos.com/49-50-mercury/#body   |

As the OP of offending penance thread you really should post a penance thread of your own sir (old skool - back in the day anyone posting a bad thread had to post a good one in penance) over to you sir :-) |

I always thought that Amazons would work well as a lead sled    Those were the closest I could find to the one I have in my mind so to speak Did find a "shop" worth posting  |

If it was mine I'd add some subtle pinstripe to it think that would really set it off ? Perhaps not pinstriping but some form of brightwork like in that lovely Amazon 'shop? Did find a "shop" worth posting Perhaps in brushed alloy not chrome - would sort of match the treatment of the grill and wheels? |

I will get round to finishing it at some point

I don't post enough, or make any valuable contribution, so that thread reminded me that this is a community that I like and it's general rules, in general. We all make this place the fun and interesting place it is. so have a volvo. [img src="  " alt=" "] can't decide if I love or hate the indicators though..... |

Good call on the Volvos ! I'm sure I could find a space for any of those above (  a hard-as-nails, daily driver/weekend warrior ) * the 'shop one is a bit too clean for me, and indicators might need to moved around on the last one but it's all minor stuff. I looked at an Amazon estate (retro & practical) last year, if I could get the leadsled look to work on an estate I could be onto an oddball winning mix... Not my 1st choice of colour but it's food for thought  ( Google : "Woody Leadsled Stalliondesigns" for more info) |
