Default Patina rules
Put a modern tool box on the back of my TS and it just didn't look right. Found this nice metal box. It fits a lot better.

John, I noticed your zip-a-rack right off! I recently acquired this one which had been on Bill Williamson's VERMIN. It came in handy for mounting a 12 volt battery to power the decorations for the Clovis, CA Children's Christmas Light Parade last Saturday. Russ

Thumbs up Re: Patina rules
1930-Pickup,

I use to keep my unrestored '29 Chevy and '31 "A" roadster together in my shop building. I would walk in and the patina smell was so strong I would just stand there with a big smile on my face going "oh wow"!

Bob-A , I know what you mean . I have my " A " , " Betty " , in the attached garage this winter doing a lot of stuff to her , and every time I step out the door into the garage , I smell that patina and many memories come back of younger days playing with these old cars .

Mine is one that John LaVoy built and marketed a few years ago. About the only thing shiny on the car. Wish I could find an old original without all that plating.

That DUDE only cost me $285.00, including shipping, from my Buddy, Brentwood Bob! He even re-plated the CHROME Face Bar for me He said THAT rack once hauled a short block, from Northern California, to Los Angeles
