Re: 1941 Semi Truck
An incredible survivor! It had to have been stored indoors all this time. I don't even see any cracks in the steering wheel! Looks like you have a few more very heavy items in the background that might someday beg to be restored. I too am drawn to the big and heavy but you must keep in mind a strange quirk of nature, or is it science? These big vehicles and equipment seem to attract stray atoms or molecules of iron from thin air which then bond to the components, rendering them ever heavier as time goes by. I recently went to toss a tire/wheel combo onto my flatbed and found it had gained perhaps as much as 30 lbs, so finally gave up and cranked up my old friend the skidsteer for some assistance. Keep up the incredible work you are doing there!
