HOA's FTW. People are just too stupid. Come to Fremont. There are some people with absolutely no taste, they pick colors that should never be even considered for houses, things like bright green or pink trim, ridiculous combos, even a guy with a RICH, bright yellow paintjob with reddish brown trim, with the trees & bushes in the yard all grown up. Its hideous. He needs te be part of an HOA to limit his color choices lol. And some people are just so trashy, they leave shit in front of their houses and don't keep up on maintainance and stuff. They need to be slapped around by an HOA a bit...

In a word; Why?:icon_conf Some vehicles are better left on the scrap heap. I would ressurect many Supra's, before I would waste a dime on that ugly ass thing! But, to each thier own, and good luck!:icon_razz

PFFT! :wuteva:

I think its beautiful! Those trucks did lots of different duties in both WWII and Korea. The were tough, versitile, and played their part well in both campaigns. There are a few clubs that specialize in the restoration of war era vehicles, you might want to join up with one of them. Just like this community, they will invaluable in helping you find correct information on it. I would love to see you restore it to its former glory. At the very least you will have a unique vehicle that most people will never get the privilage of seeing in person. My hat is off to you!
