Re: Old 1950 "AIR FORCE" Truck (build)
I spent countless hours lightly sanding the rust and primer to locate old military signage. That took special lighting plus a magnifying glass to see all of it. Some was totally gone because the original paint had been scraped away. Thankfully I was able to fill in those missing blanks. After I was able to decipher things I used stencils to replicate the wording. After letting it sit and bake in the Arizona sun I lightly sanded the new paint away. It now seems to meld into the overall rustic theme.
People have mistakenly called this a Rat Rod. That's not correct. I call it a "Rustoration".
