Thanks! Henshooter, few places around town stuck in my mind for Photo Op so I thought I'd take advantage of a sunny day yesterday and snap some pic.

I was trying to find something out of place in the Texaco station photo, like where is waldo. That's a really nice photo. I would like to see what it looks like edited in Black and white. The bright colors are also way cool!

 

[truckd]

Thanks! skitfish.........
I think it would get lost in the detail in Black & White but I will try Who Knows?

Here is Patience with his Vintage I.D.

 

[Henshooter]

How did you go getting the coins for the head badge Trukn , if you could pm me the dates you want I'll ask the md community to do a swapsy with some old coins that I have , might have some luck that way

Regards Hen

Here are a couple of pic's of Patience in a different light

 

[skitchfish]

Very nice! Nothing lost at all in my opinion. I really really like that.

 

[Intrepid Wheelwoman]

Really great 'old' photos Is that Texaco station a part of a museum exhibit?

 

[massdrive]

Pleased to meet you Patience. You are vary handsome. Odd name for a boy?

 

[truckd]

Patience got his name because I thought this was going to be a quick and painless resto but Patience wasn't having it that way, he didn't want a quick Rattle Can paint job so he got Powder Coated ( a very nice! Tuxedo it is too) he didn't want any of the donor parts ( hand me down clothes) so NOS Wald parts were installed he told me that he had been Patient waiting for some one like me to get him straight so do it RIGHT! he also wasn't going to put on just any shoes either, he told me that he was 67 YRS. Old and didn't want the kind of treatment he had been receiving over the past years so he got custom made shoes.

Yes Patience was talking to me and I listened to him, he definitely was the one calling the shots it took me a little longer then I thought to get him together and he tested my Patience as well but it was worth it.

Thanks! for the compliments I.W.

 

[Velodrome]

That one came out GREAT Truckd! Nice choice on the peddles too! NOS reflectorless creamies, look like.

 

[truckd]

Thanks! Velo, shoot me an e-mail later

Posted Patience on a few F/B pages and MAN! the response and likes have Fabulous! I will be sad when he goes.

 

[skitchfish]

What! Where's he going? He can't be spoiled like that and just decide to bail! Thats just ungrateful.

 

[truckd]

Yes! he's looking for a new home and someone who will take care of him like I did (wants to spread his wings) sad when they leave home but you wish the best for them on life's journey no matter where it takes them ?

LOL!
