Quite often “Rednecks” are proud to be rednecks so they often OK with the stereotypes, to a point.

Here is a couple that held their wedding in a mud pit.
I feel safe chatting about rednecks because they are my family.

Nothing says their necks have to be painted red.

I remember when the Homies Trailer Park figures were in those coin vending machines in front of bodegas. That was the selling point for me. The only two figures I never got were Squint Black and Betty gas pump.

I take it you’re vegan, then?

Not to be pedantic here but you cannot murder animals . Murder by definition is the unlawful killing of one human being by another.
As an American I thought you might want to know …
…and sorry to disappoint but there is no alcohol involved here .

Although i have no problem with the stereotype, I would feel uncomfortable painting and displaying the confederate flag, even if on a model.

If you were portraying history, such as say, the history of my high school parking lot in Florida in the '70’s, it wouldn’t be much different than putting a Swastika on an Me-109. No one is glorifying it, they’re portraying a thing as it was.

I understand, but as a non-american, and given the current context in the US, I could not. But it’s a personal matter!

I believe there is now an emerging recognition that swastikas should be displayed if in an authentic historical context e.g. on restored aircraft, I understand this is the case with the Finnish Air Force Museum (it is also prominent on a lot of the merchandise in the museum shop) although it has only recently been removed from some Finnish Air Force insignia. Certainly there shouldn’t be a problem with the maroon Latvian Air Force “Ugunskrusts”, or the swastika on the headdress of the Indian on the Lafayette Flying Corps insignia seen here on the grave marker of Arthur Bluethenthal, an American volunteer KIA while flying with the 227 Escadrille the French Foreign Legion Air Service.
The swastika was a common motif in Roman art and can be found in military contexts as an insignia or decoration.

How about a gardener’s truck 3D printed conversion with makeshift wooden cargo bed slats? Can also be a junk removal hauling truck. Photo from Flickr’s David Valenzuela, 2011.

I have seen a kid do similar two years ago to his old Chevy box truck to start a hauling business. He didn’t have braces across the top.

Unfortunately Francois having a Confederate flag draped across the rear window of your pickup is a fact of life for a redneck, as well as a " South shall rise again!" tag on the front bumper. A leaping largemouth bass sticker on the rear window along with a Dallas Cowboys star and a “Roll Tide” sticker too.
You’ll also need a CB antenna whip mounted on the back bumper with a black “POW/MIA” flag and a squirrel tail on the tip, ya gotta have a pair of bull’s balls hanging from the trailer hitch receiver. There needs to be a whitetail deer sticker somewhere on the truck bed and one side of a four point antler in the bed littered among a half roll of duct tape a plastic six pack ring a few long neck Budweiser bottles a crumpled pouch of Redman chew and maybe an empty Skoal lid, five 7018 welding rods and the left hand Wells Lamont work glove. A red and white fishing bobber on the tip of the am/fm radio antenna is a nice touch above a frayed mini Confederate flag. If it’s a 4X4 the brush guard needs two KC halogen lights with yellow smiley face covers. A Chevy bowtie visor stripe across the windsheild should tidy things up . . . well don’t forget the cane poles sticking out over the tail gate and a square deflated spare tire mounted to the polished aluminum tread plate tool box adorned with a " Git 'er done" bumper sticker on one side and on the other side a bumper sticker that says " Don’t argue with your wife dicker!". Probably want a “I’d rather be fishing” bumper sticker on the rear bumper and a sticker on the driver’s side window saying “I support local Law Enforcement”.
Now you’ve got a redneck ride.
