Color me beautiful, I break some rules! Yes, I paint it! @ratrodsafrica

Uploaded April 2026 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

I paint the complete interior of the 1939 Hudson cab. Yes, 80% of it is pain... Yes, and I even sand Bondo... Although I have said several times that life is too short for it... Now I have to swallow those words!🤭
BUT, I love the contrast between the freshly painted interior and the 87 year old original paint on the outside of the cab. Something not everyone will agree with...

Thanks for the support and sponsorship from Mesco Engineering Supplies.
