Hot August Nights Pics

Took a few pics today up at Lake Tahoe. I'll take more as they come to Reno and Sparks this week.

I've seen that truck. I know the owner of the shop where some of the work was done on it and he gave me some of the hand-me-down take-off parts for my '49. I may never have a truck that nice, but I can say I have some parts off a truck that nice.

Yup, it does look kinda strange on a nice truck.

Years ago a buddy of mine and I went to see a movie...he was a projectionist in a past life and felt compelled to point out all the cues that came up during the movie to alert the projectionist about when to change reels, etc. After that, every time I went to the movies, those stupid cues jumped out at me and distracted me from the movie...I cussed him each time it happened.

Sometimes we know too much about a subject to see past the nits. I'm glad I don't know so much about F1's right now, that truck looks mighty sweet to me.

Maybe the guy knew it was wrong and just made it look right, he's obviously a darksider and wants to improve.
