We at Rust is NOT a ll of us are here and enjoying this fi ne publication
Crime would like to
thank everyone for their because we all enjoy seeing what people have
continued support. We done to their cars to make them unique. Kegs
are planning on getting
to more car shows this for gas tanks to mixing spoons for gas pedals
year and hope to see you
there with us. We are still A and don't forget the empty bottle of rum for
having more fun than we an overfl ow tank. These cars are awesome and the
should with this and just
wanted to thank you all imagination that goes in to them is impressive.
again. What I am bringing to the table this issue is some of the smaller things
that can really make the biggest impact. The things that can make or break
your impression of the car. I'm talking about stickers. Stickers, pin stripes,
door art... probably the easiest 'modifi cation' one can do to their car. For a
couple bucks you can let anyone know who you voted for, what club you
run with or you can have people notify you if your car decides to leave parts
behind. Where stickers get, fun is they've been around forever. Think about it,
our parents were putting presidential stickers on the bumpers of the family
truckster and I can remember my dad getting fl ame decals to cover the rust
patches on the family car when I was young. We come along and revive these
wonderful machines to fi nd that the messages of the 50s and 60s are still
affi xed to the bumpers or glass and just leave them alone or try and preserve
them. It's as I've mentioned in a previous article, the locations we fi nd these
vehicles are key in what sticks around and survives through the years. That
car that sat in the fi eld for 50 years has perfect patina and the kid that owned
it before you that couldn't afford an engine for it back then had his favorite
radio station or burger joint proudly displayed in the window. Now these live
on through us. Through these photos and people doing their part to preserve
the awesome that they can.
