I got dirty

THE condition on hubs buying me the '54 pickup was -
I would have to learn to work on it.

***he has tried over the years to teach me car stuff,
but I don't care to learn -
I've told him 'you buy me a '50s pickup and I will learn'***

-older vehicles don't have all the bells and whistles as 'newer' vehicles -
less wiring, no computers, figure it would be *easier* to learn-

Well, it's started.

I used a wire brush to remove rust and loose paint from
the tailgate and inside the cab.

We bought new reflectors too.

My Toy

We cleaned the bed out today and found the original
(was covered w/ plywood).
It's all going to have to be replaced.

Hubs tried to name things on the engine for me...
*points* 'that's the thermostat, blah blah blah'
after he named like 5 or 6 things, I said
'you lost me after thermostat'.

I wonder if he knows the challenge he has taken on?
Teaching me car speak.

I told hubs -
you might as well take a sharpie and write the name of 'whatever' on it, so I know what it is.
