^^^ Most of those old streamliners were more styling exercises than anything. I do like them but they have to be kept in their own place- next to the Chrysler Airflows of the world.

Thanks, I do plan on making the triangle shaped cap. Hopefully over winter break. If you or anyone wants a side view to work from I've got Photoshop so just let me know the year, make and model and I can do it for you. It literally takes about 3 minutes max.

I found this in the site's pick-up truck album section today.
From Phil's album? I've studied those quite a bit in fact. Almost all of my source information for my projects comes from this site. Thanks to everyone for all the help!

The Dodge pickup was probably one of my biggest sources of inspiration for this particular aero cap. (Along with BZP's enthralling Toyota)
