Restoration:
'41 Dodge WC - Picked up a nail on the road, to my dismay. One of the dangers of using your coolest rig as a daily driver! I thought about going old school and patching the tube, but after all the work it took to take the tire off the rim I chickened out and replaced the tube.

'41 Dodge WC - This cool truck has deserved a fresh coat of paint for a long time. I decided to change it up a bit and use the original Mil-spec Olive Drab paint that it would have left the factory with. I think it suits the truck just right.

'47 Chrysler Windsor - Brakes! Time to make this big girl able to slow down again. Master cylinder rebuilt, wheel cylinders rebuilt, new rubber lines, and all new steel ones too. I even cut and hand riveted the new linings to the shoes. How is that for personalized care?
