Where's the truck?

I was told there's a 51 F1 in this picture, but all I see are tires, wheels and running boards.

Does anyone see a truck?

I was expecting there to be a scantily-clad girl in the picture!

Oh, I like it too. I think it's probably a wrap. I wonder how Betsy would look in camo. But then I wouldn't be able to see her...

Wonder if those wraps are less money than minor body work and a paint job.

I think they're around $1,000. But I don't know how hard they are to make a permanent installation. My only experience with vinyl decals on my trailer turned out very badly in just a couple of years. I would never try to do it myself again.

Personally I don't get the cammo thing for hunting trucks, guns, binoculars and anything other thing you're going to take into the woods. Unless you're going to hunt from your truck, which I am not sure, but I is illegal in most states, the animal isn't going to notice your truck. Also, I doubt an animal is going to notice the silhouette of a gun or binoculars, they'll notice the movement though. My son is really into hunting and I tease him about all his cammo stuff and how does he find it when he sits it down on the ground or it falls out of his pocket.

Does anyone know how forgiving wraps are to bodywork? Just how smooth does the base have to be?


I think what I really need is a magic wand.....lol

That girl in the camp bikini is not real pretty. She looks like a dog!

Not forgiving at all. the vinyl is very thin, and follows every contour much like paint.
