a gift

i obtained this gem from a fellow hobbiest who is wealthy. He and his wife live in the atascadero area of california.

they live on top costal mountains in ritzy area of multi million dollar homes. rusty was used as trash truck. the wife considered it an eye sore at the house property.

one day ole rusty made a funny noise and i just happend to call at the right time. i said well if u want to sell it ill take it. the wife loved getting the junque out of the yard and now its mine and slowly making it a driver again. im told by the street rod types that the rusty patina as they call it now is a desired look. so i leave it alone
