Dove Opener -- Photos?

[Double Lab]

Jerry, did you just wash that truck and bring it back to that condition? How is the interior and does it still run?

Daryl,

The photos are just after washing the dirt off of the as found condition, using only a rag and water. Sitting for nineteen years all four brakes have rusted in place so we had to winch and drag it out. The massive 31 inch tall by 18-inch-wide tires took hours to get off the car as they were flat and in the dirt. The steering would not turn; tires on the front flat and sunken in the dirt. The old fellow (younger than me I think) had parked the three cars and did nothing to them. He vowed to not sell them in his lifetime. I will get the brakes unlocked, new expensive replacement tires, and get it cranked. The inside was like the day he parked and in good shape. A true "barn-find" thanks to a call from my wife that she regrets.

Did not mean to hijack this thread but thought these were unusual opening day photos and story. I hope to dove hunt in the morning (VA opening day is always at 12 p.m.).
