Re: dodge L 1000
Even better again!
The reason I appreciate that quality of "sketching" is because I did Technical Graphics / Mechanic drawing for 6 six years in school, alongside engineering. So I can clearly see...

Re: 1974 oshkosh cab over
Coming along nice. I think the grill turned out great, they did a nice job. Your drawing must have been accurate as it's a perfect fit. I can see your point though, for all the effort of scratch...
