A lot of what this boils down to is the difference between a rig that served in Massachusetts versus one that served in North Carolina. RUST. The Concord rig has NONE, never did. The other one was not as fortunate. As I recall, TJ said that it wasn't in condition to be restored so he did it his way. Since there are so many surviving original or restored to original rigs just like it, I really don't see the issue. It wasn't like it was the only rig of its kind and he made a monster truck out of it!

' /> First of all, Dave thanks for having my back. Secondly, Steve, this "wonderful old truck" was going to the crusher. It had rot holes you could put your head through, and the driveline was shot. So, Steve, I'd really like to know what I should've done; crush it? Well, clearly I didn't do that. I'll tell you the same thing I've told other "critics"; if you don't like it, DON'T LOOK AT IT. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> (Sorry, I'll use my inside voice now.) Trust me, you will not hurt my feelings at all. OK, rant over, and let this regularly scheduled thread continue. Later, TJ <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/stirpot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
