Re: What inspires your build?

That ^^^ is very cool.

The restoration of mine was inspired by rain. At the time it was unrestored, driving me around MT to various ranches where I'd work at side jobs. The truck was living the life it had always lived as a work truck. One evening when I'd stayed late at work it had started to rain. When I came outside the water was hiding the oxidized paint and allowing the turquoise to come through with a nice gloss. I realized right then the truck would really look nice in its original colors. The next day, much to my co-worker's amusement, I painted the wheels gray and installed a shiny new set of baby moons. I drove it around for another two years all beat up but sporting nice wheels and a set of shiny hub caps before the restoration got started.
