I am leaning toward the last two. 2nd to last grabs my attention more, but i'm a traditional photo kind of guy and really like the last one hope that helps

Awesome shots!! I'd go with the first one. It's an amazing shot with great perspective. You might want to play around with the curves in PS though and see if you can get some better lighting/color/contrast out of it.

Only reason I say #1 is because the shadows ruin the other ones. They hide most of your truck. The first one doesn't show most of the truck, so it works the best IMO.

I got bored, so I played with the curves and such in that first pic...here's what I came up with (just a few minor tweaks)

Thanks guys. They are going to be hard to choose from. I'll pry go try to shoot some more tonight. I didn't like the shadows, but liked the wall.

Thanks for the edit Sisk, I still wish the neons would have came out different.

try parking another car on the other side of the wall and run fog lights through the holes. will give it a spotty backlit look.... could be cool

hmmm... All I can suggest really is using flash to expose for the truck, and the neon's would pop out more... if you're using a DSLR, then you can get a hold of a flash that clips onto the top and use a diffuser which "softens" the light and won't create any glare in the headlights and what not... or at least a lot less glare.
