An old Chevrolet sedan parked beside the burger restaurant were we ate. There's not a strip of paint left on this car. It's all rust literally but still running!

Thank you very much for viewing. :D

    I think we should all chip in and give it to DonRicklin as a present. lol3.gif

    Very cool shot. Got any more? I think a wide shot of it and the burger joint would be perfect.

    I'm not really a rust aficionado, but I think you did a nice job with this. I especially think the slightly broken tail light adds to it.

    By any chance, did the car have really large, shiny wheels (worth more than the entire rest of the car)? Seems to be a common thing - get an old beat up car, and then spend money on putting big expensive rims on it.

    I'm working on something really rustically huge, Richard. Stay tuned! I hope my fellow rust junkies would love this. I was trying to take some more pictures but the car drove away early. rolleyes1.gif

    Nope, this car is really an old beaten up Chevrolet. I am really quite surprised that it is still running. mwink.gifrolleyes1.gif

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.
