Hi, I like the Fed-Ex van, but I also was wondering why you did it upside down. Was this just as sort of a challenge to yourself? Or was there some particular detail you felt only worked with upside-down bricks? Bruce (22 years ago, 3-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) I saw this before you posted, but didn't realize it was built upside down. Very nice. Why'd you build it upside down? I definetly think a lot of the details (ie the headlights) benefited from the upside down building. Jonathan (22 years ago, 3-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

So many gems, so little time (to post). The promo poster is a beauty...really captures that 50's glam-ad look that the big 3 used, to say nothing of the sleek little number it depicts.
