Hi everyone.
I'm STEEL BRIGADE STINGRAY.
I've been a JOE BRO since 1982 and I recently posted one of my first customs which I built around 9 or 10 years old (I'm 47).
I called it the STEEL BRIGADE WAR WAGON and you can see it on my page.
I'm computer illiterate and have no clue how to make my image files smaller and the JOECUSTOMS system says the images I wanna post of my WAR WAGON are too big..

I'm torn and would like the community's thoughts.
I feel my build has aged well considering I was about 9 or 10 when I originally built it.
And so, I don't know if I should leave it as historical reminder of how allot of us played and customized our JOE stuff or update it.

Should I repaint with my adult airbrush skills and use repop decals to freshen it up, or leave the fairly smooth hand painted finish and original HASBRO stickers?

The only other thing on my mind is to add a removable matching troop cab over the bed of the truck.

Please check it out and lmk what you all think.
"it's only original once."
God bless and cheers all.

Actually, maybe I can shrink down a file card and put it on the dash. Thank you for the idea :)

I say leave it as is. Looks great and it’s a nice reminder of where you started
