I'm kind of the same way, I don't know what to think of it either.  There is a lot of work in it, and some very creative stuff there- but on the other hand, it still looks like junk.🤣

I saw this in Daytona too. I have a lot more pictures on my camera, I just took a few with my phone. We went to the big car show in Daytona Saturday,  it was so big we didn't see half the cars. They had beer stands too, but a $6 a beer I couldn't get too carried away. A beer is $2 at bike week.

Me and Zina from Florida were going to buy this truck. Had a 345 in it with only 5,000 miles on it, 5 speed, 2 speed rear, about all it needed was paint and tires and the driver's side floor had some rust in it.

We had already decided that we were not going to keep the patina, we wanted shiny red paint with the bumper, step, and frame shiny black. 

We were serious too, I sent the guy a $500 deposit back in September and he still hasn't gotten the title to it. So we talked about it, and I called him today and told him it was just taking too long, I'd be better off buying a shed with what I was going to spend for that truck. 

And Zina from Florida said we need a new couch and chair for the living room, so there's that. Nice truck though, I was really looking forward to getting it.

It doesn't,  the tires have good tread but as far as I know they're the original tires so they're 60 years old!

[Vladislav]

Buying a truck is always an exciting action, especially a nice and long planned one. Even if it has old tyres and needs paint. So missing the chance makes dissapointment. On the other hand there are so many trucks for sale every day and every night so need for a hurry. You can always prolong the enjoy choosing one or another.

Thanks for the pictures Tom.

P.S. That R-model in Ohio looked neat indeed.

Here's a girl in a car, from the interweb.

I went back and tried to study the car but keep getting distracted.

That picture is obviously photo chopped. With the three on the tree, there is no way she could shift it without knocking herself out!!

[Vladislav]

The car is the old Volga car.

But the matter of the point was not the car but the country of origin of the main subject of the picture

Worth to note it looks to me as a bit of tuning was done to.

[tjc transport]

Vlad, the Volga is a Russian made vehicle, correct? 

[HarryS]

Good eye Vlad. I could never get past the tatoo.

[Vladislav]

Yes, that's right. Volga GAZ-21 (the plant Henry Ford built in 30's in the city of Gorky) was produced in USSR from 1956 to 1970. Currently it's the most popular classic car in Russia. Something like B-61 corresponding to the Mack world

I bet they never figured that car would have air bags like that in it

[Bullheaded]

Too bad you didn't get that International Other Dog. That would have been a cool project. I'd rather have that than my F550.

I know it, I really liked it. And all the brakes were new front to back, including the brake lines, and all the wheel cylinders were rebuilt by a place up near Winchester or Berryville and had a lifetime guarantee. It was nice. But we did buy a new 10x12 wooden shed with a loft area, white with a green metal roof to match the house. It'll be delivered in a week or two, they just have to paint it. It was around $2,900.
