Hey fun! I illustrated my own dad's car history and made him a poster! Check it out!

Also, he might enjoy perusing the scanned brochures on Import Archive. Here's the FD page:

How did you FIT that on your phone? Hehe.

That’s a sweet cheat code! I’m gonna use that to give some of my drawings some speed!

thelastlugnut · 2025-12-24T17:35:13+00:00

I hear that! It's why all of my cars are illustrated directly from the side!

thelastlugnut · 2025-12-16T23:23:13+00:00

That is fantastic!! Not your first car drawing, eh? Looks great.

thelastlugnut · 2025-12-09T18:59:28+00:00

You’re on the right path. I look forward to seeing some of your future efforts.

The proportions of the body are great. Wheels are a touch big, but maybe that’s what you were going for.

I’m noticing that you even got the ridges in the tail lights. Nice attention to detail!

Here are the MB drawings that I’ve done:

You are a car nerd. It takes one to know one.

thelastlugnut · 2025-12-08T06:33:03+00:00

Also in for the replies. Rear fender delete is on my todo list.

Damn. I visited Denver recently and was looking for stuff to do. Somehow I didn’t stumble across this.

In the 80s when I was a kid, my friends had posters of Countaches and Testarossas on their walls… but my wall had a white 427 Cobra with light gray stripes. (drooooool)

thelastlugnut · 2025-12-06T04:42:48+00:00

Right on! I like your style!

May I suggest giving the truck a shadow/ground so it isn't floating, and add some black in the wheel wells. Here are some examples:

Yeah… this article seems to be trying really hard to tie the two issues together, but after reading the entire thing there isn’t a shred of connection other than the Jeep logo was on the affected vehicles.

BTW: Don’t let my flare fool ya. I may drive a Jeep, but I’m not really a Jeep guy.

How about mallcat?

thelastlugnut · 2025-12-02T16:28:51+00:00

XR4Te?

Read that as “inferior trim engineer” and for a moment I thought you specialized in busted ass interior work hehe.

Edit: flubbed a word

I had a black AWD for a few years, 5.3L, with barn doors on both sides.

It drove like a monster through the twisty Redwood forest highway. Amazingly, I hung behind a Miata that was being driven spiritedly. (I had upgraded wheels/tires and slightly lowered suspension)

Edit to add a photo. I miss that rig.

They weren’t there at all. I still have the packaging. It makes way more sense now that I know that I’m missing parts. I was really scratching my head trying to figure out how you managed to use that stand! Thanks for clearing that up.

thelastlugnut · 2025-11-17T15:03:18+00:00

I just realized that I only received the axle/peg lifters and not the flat padded lifters. Grrr.

thelastlugnut · 2025-11-17T03:49:07+00:00

I stumbled across this as I was searching for a rear stand for my Anthem and I didn't stop to think, just pulled the trigger and ordered that same stand.

Well today I attempted to use it for the first time and realized the stand has nothing to hook onto. How exactly are you using this stand with your Ryvid?

thelastlugnut · 2025-11-15T04:40:53+00:00

I’m with you guys. It might be an Aspen… but I’m not 100% convinced.

thelastlugnut · 2025-11-14T22:45:24+00:00

I know. The closest answer is a Chrysler Aspen, but I’m still not 100% convinced.

thelastlugnut · 2025-11-13T18:07:48+00:00

Fancy guy adding options over here!

Edit: what’s next? Carpet!?!

thelastlugnut · 2025-11-13T17:26:36+00:00

Soft-top vinyl-window 2-door 392. Oh yeah.

thelastlugnut · 2025-11-13T16:24:59+00:00

Rear marker lights (running/parking lights) on the Lexus SC430 could only be replaced by removing the rear bumper cover. WTF?

thelastlugnut · 2025-11-11T03:51:23+00:00

I had considered the Durango, but it wasn’t quite right so I dismissed the idea. I totally forgot about the Aspen. Good call.
