We Are Not Men

We Are Resto(ration):

1955 Ford F-100. Stepside...

...with an Austin America as a hat.

 

 

The irony that this truck was manufactured the same year that I was, just dawned on me.

 

Jagged rusty bits in the cab corners. Glove-flaying high-speed wire-wheel grinders.

The unmistakable tangy undertaste of iron, even with a respirator. Aqua to Canary Yellow To primer red to gleaming steel.

 

After this is the good part, when the color goes back on. And, you notice what a strange little capsule a car really looks like, before all of the fenders and other bits go back on.
