Rust bucket of the month
I know we have the truck of the month, but what about a contest where the winner's truck is not finished or even started? What if said winner had some parts thrown there way from whomever had stuff laying around that they dont need?

68 I purchased last fall. Stepped on the rocker and the whole rocker and cab corner fell off. Also what the frame looked like. Only parts not shot were grille and hood.

Gotcha now. It looks blue on my monitor, it may be the way it faded too. I think Medium Green is kind of a teal right?

It's close to teal. The more weathered mine gets, the more it looks blue.

The "Rustmites" have been busy!!!!They must reproduce quickly in the northern states.It's a wonder we don't have another civil war on our hands,not letting our trucks rust like that.

Re: Rust bucket of the month
Here's mine a year and a half ago.

And then now...just got out of paint booth.

Not a rust bucket any more! And my wife doesn't call it "that ugly truck" any longer either!
