The black and white cat is the mother, and the cute little almost invisible calico hiding behind the tire is the only kitten left.
There was a rack similar to this on my kammback, but was longer to match the roof line of the kammback. I cut this one down to be where I wanted it. Can't decide whether to just camo the whole dern thing, or black out the trim, bumpers, etc.

Haven't had time for any wrenching lately, on any of my rigs. Did replace the steering column in the "new" Ford supercab. Ran Seafoam through the Critter this afternoon. That is some fine stuff, I highly recomend it. Also temporarily stuck this on to see what it would look like...

Will attach them after the camo job.

Craigslist. They are for Ford F150, Texas Edition is a special package, has a/c, better rims and tires, a few other goodies. Chevy has a Texas edition, Dodge trucks have a "Lone Star" edition. These for the fords have a good shape of Texas, and flag colors. I would think if AMC were still around, and if they made Eagles, they would have a Texas Edition, too. Since this one will have a roof rack, mud grips, a gun rack, and be camo'ed, it would be the prototype Texas Edition Eagle.

Whatever happened to "Critter"?

 My FIL & I  both kept tabs on this project until he just got too down from chemo to start up the computer.  He & my MIL owned the car as a daily driver for a number of years before it handed down through their son and finally to my daughter.  TrapperJack was kind enough to take if off my hands to save it from the crusher.  My FIL passed away in December of 2009, and I haven't been here to check since.  Got curious today and dug up the thread to see what was going on.

It moved on to another owner.  Somewhere there is a thread about it. 
It seems to me that it went to a good home.

It lives on. I sold it to a young couple just around the corner from me. I see it buzzing around  every once in a while, with a big black lab in the back seat. The Critter is alive and well.
