rain clouds or mud puddles worry me now do you ? But I do admit I have patina-ized
some of the mods I did to make them match the truck better.


Actually faking age and wear can be pretty fun and takes skill to make it look right. And fun is what these old trucks are supposed to be.

My current truck looks darn near identical to your red one and I used to have my '67 Frankentruck. I stress about my bright, shiny red truck especially when I have to park it somewhere other than home whereas I never had to stress about the '67.
