I agree with you on that one.

 

Me too and I did a roisserie job myself last spring. It was a pig roaster. The client I built it for didn't want me to paint it, they liked the original paint after I burned the diesel fuel out of the tank. Four pigs have been roasted in it since then and in the first shot I hadn't set up the rotisserie yet, but in the second you can see it. I like to use an octagonal digging bar or drill steel for the spit as the set screw on the meat forks have a flat spot to set into. As for trucks, I fix what needs fixing, paint where I feel it's needed and drive them. Like I said, there are many, many ways to 'do' old vehicles, and I'm just glad I can share a bit of what I've learned with someone seeking some specialized info to complete their project....

 

And it's certainly appreciated mate! Love the pig roaster by the way, those forge blowers are worth a fortune over here.

 

We always cooked ours real slowly at about 225 degrees, but these folks wanted to get theirs over 400 for the last hour to crisp the skin. I had to warn them that if they cranked too much on the blower, they'd be in danger of a Chernoble style meltdown. Now I'm off topic again.........I think we've covered the aged paint thing pretty well. Now can we all just get along?

 

OK, just had to finish up with this, since I was talking about the chicken house AND creating aged paint, Then someone comes up with being in the doghouse and it looks just like what I built for my wife's chickens. Any freshly cut edges on the old wood got or is getting my red primer treatment. I just couldn't put a henhouse on my place that looked new. Aged paint isn't just for trucks....

 

Not sure what I like most, the aged appearance, the fact it's on skids or the beer bottle sitting on the skid. Nice work.
