Apollo Backstory Photos
Hi Jimmy,
Here's a photo of Apollo just after getting to home base a while back. From a distance all looks well...but start looking at detail and you'll see about half of the 21 stickers that were on the outside alone!
It took half a day to get them all off. It was quite a pile in the end... including the weird, skull embossed seat covers that smelled somewhere between a nasty wet dog and a white trash blonde bimbo. It took changing the whole interior to get rid of that nasty smell....
One HAS to admit that the aftermarket snake stuck on with tape below the F-250 logo really adds something to the dignity and charm of this truck. I later found the F-250 logo had been broken off and was also attached only with bad two-sided tape....they've been removed and I've lost at least 20 hours sleep trying to get the welded up holes right enough to paint and look good.
Oh...and one phot is just to show sad 'ole Cracker Skylab before I started stripping him down for parts. He's sitting in the background looking good. Since he didn't get much of a life he at least deserves SOME record that he was here.
