Which one? The Ford isn't mine. I have an F150 from the era, though- it's all show and no go.
The Chevrolet didn't look like that originally. This is what it looked like when I got it running (Top right of the photo) :
I wished I had a better photo of it. It was half-bondo.
I repainted it with a brush- I used Oliver green (I used actual farm tractor paint) and cream-colored Rustoleum for the roof. It's a 5-foot paint job. There are runs in it, and I could have done better. But, compared to the grey duckling above, it's a definite improvement. For less than $100, I won't complain. It does turn heads, though.
For your viewing enjoyment:
That Chevrolet was the truck that I was brought home from the hospital in when I was born. My father parked it for some reason (It ran and drove at the time), and I fixed it up. That truck will be with me for life- there is no way that I'm ever selling it.
It's good for showing off my junk, though!
