OUTSTANDING Fred, superb work there. :thumbsup:

I never thought an Edsel could be anything but pretty boring, not any more!

Second that. I did not expect that it was possible to pimp the already bombastic Edsel... :thumbsup:

Even though I somewhat expected an Edsel/AMC Pacer kit bash behind the title. ;)
