Desotodav Posted April 29, 2013 Report Posted April 29, 2013 Good job Paul. You're quite the wizz with a camera now. You've certainly come a long way since those old blurry shots that you use to take! (yep we know - it was a faulty camera .. LOL..) Good lookin old truck as well! Quote
pflaming Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Posted April 29, 2013 Dave, I may be old, and feeble, but I'm still vertical. I'm about ready to start restoring my '53 Ply convertible, so I want to document that. The harness will be first, then hood, trunk lid, dog house/front fenders, driver's door, top frame, then body. All of that is labor and lots of it. Wish me well. Quote
RobertKB Posted April 29, 2013 Report Posted April 29, 2013 Good job!! I much prefer the larger pictures to the thumbnails. One less step to seeing the big picture as it is already there. Two actually, as you have to left click to get rid of the picture after enlarging it. Quote
Desotodav Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Thanks for the photobucket link through your photo Paul. You haven't changed too much mate as there is still some fuzzy ones in there - are you still using that same camera? I love the look of that old grey dual cab (attached). I suppose that it's more like an 'extra-cab' as it has fixed panels in the back rather than doors? I look forward to following the progress on your convertible project. Stay vertical my old friend!

pflaming Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Posted April 30, 2013 I didn't realize all those pics were available. I think I have found the correct setting on my camera to avoid the fuzzy pics. Got to figure this all out and that's a challenge for me. I guess I sometimes miss the Kodak Brownie Camera. Quote
pflaming Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Posted April 30, 2013 Still experimenting with photobucket. Quote

pflaming Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Posted April 30, 2013 That was the 'rich' folk's camera. Kodak made another which, if memory doesn't fail me was called the 'Brownie'. Don, are you and I getting smart or just old'r? Quote
Don Coatney Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Old for sure. The picture I posted is a Brownie Junior. My mom bought it in the early 1940's. Quote
Scruffy49 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 I've got those same mirrors, but in "patina'd" black and aluminum with black cords. Nice photos. Quote
pflaming Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Posted May 1, 2013 I picked up that chrome mirror at a thrift shop for $1.00. I wanted the mirror, I will make a mount to match the driver's side, but it does work nice. Maybe I should paint it black for now, but then this is a "patina" truck, so there are no rules thus nothing is wrong! That good for someone like me. Old trucks photo nice. Thanks Quote
