1928 Chevrolet Truck: | |
My Grandpa gave me this truck when I was just 17 with the condition that I would restore it and he would help.
This was long before the days of digital photos so I don't have the job chronicled like I wish I did. I think that probably explains why I'm so anal about taking pictures of everything now.
I hate explaining things without photo backup.
My years as a Technical Writer enforced the old saying: "A picture is worth a thousand words." |
