Greetings corhorts! I present you my Exemplar!

I've enjoyed making trucks for MTM2 over the years, 
but I have latley been to busy to do so regularly. 
But since I stopped making trucks three years ago, 
I've always had a slight urging to make the 
truck you are using now. I hope you enjoy it, as 
I have tried to do a quality job.

I designed the bin to be more 3d and more accurate 
to the shape of a real vintage ford pickup. This is 
where most of my focus was throughout the project. 
The paint was just a side bit. But I will go out on a limb 
and say that this is probably the most true-to-the-real-thing
that has been built to this date for this model of a pickup.

The paint is a simple 2-tone scheme. I did my best to match 
the colors of the Internation Harvester red and creamish-white color.
Gladly, MTM2 handles these colors well.

Hopefully all you Bigfoot nuts out there will dig it. I know I was 
real close to makeing a new Thunder Beast replica. But I decided not to.

I did pay attention to how the truck handled. I was really into how well 
Replica Fan's Skoal chevy truck handled that i used that as my starting wheelbase.
I did have to alter it, but I made sure the truck handled pretty well. 
Not to lose, not to tight.
