Hot mess!

Most of you know that I retired from the military. And, the military loves accronyms.  Guess what?  Horny Old Truck makes a great accronym and it is HOT, literally.  So, I really do have a hot mess on my hands.  Here are just a few examples.

So, this is a view of the passenger's side floor board where someone did a "restoration" by using thinsheet aluminum and Bondo to make a patch.  Needless to say it just created more rust, surprise.


Then, there was the bird's nest.


And, then there was the "professional" wiring job.  OK, you can add a junction box in your house complete with lamp wiring and wire nuts, but for the record it is NOT OK in a vehicle of any kind.  


There is a saving grace to all of this.  Whoever did this work at least had good taste in music.  This is what I found in the tape player.  Elvis music and HOT just seems to go together.
