[Canned Heinekens are better. They are kept refrigerated. Whereas the bottled pallets sometimes get left out in the sun, which overcooks the hops -- making it skunky]

Nothing to do with overcooking the hops UV light breaks down the acids which then binds with the beers proteins causing the beer skunk . You can do the same storing near a grow light . Thats why a lot of beers are in brown bottles it doesn't happen as much with brown bottles . Heat or refrigeration has no play in it

Been brewing for 20 years and have taken a few classes

X2, clear or green gets skunky (oxidized) according to my instructor. Brown protects the product better.

Holy Cow! That is long, the back seat must be a queen size bed.

That trim is painted on? Props! That guy ought to go to work for Sports Illustrated!

**Getter-Done** · 12-02-2020, 08:08 PM

That is Cool

I remember this truck.
There is a thread on the forum of this truck's progress.

On the Step fenders there was never a GM-stamped trim panel for those curves.
Stepsides don't generally have the moulding rear of the Cab. [Stepsides are generally Standard, not DeLuxe, anyway.] So that might be the reason for painted-on trim. Impressive, if they did w/o the mouldings and just painted the whole trim on.

The lower trim is indeed painted on and cleared over.

Wow. As a stagehand, I've had to paint wood grain onto opera sets. No one really gets close enough to see it, and the lighting is focused on the talent anyway.
