There is more of it in my album, didn't know how to link it to here.

That is an old timer for sure.

Nice shoot.

Just look at those hood louvres or are they maybe even separate wee doors I guess for engine cooling.

They are louvre/doors and could be opened separately, probably each one houses a spider like small apartments.

Looking at the size of those wee doors, they could cater for big nasty man eating type spiders.

Haha, cool ride. This kind of processing really works for it

This sits in the back of the Stolz Memorials business property where they carve gravestones/headstones and monuments. It is within walking distance of my house. I actually ask the manager inside for permission to photograph it! She said sure photograph away! The winch truck was used to set the headstones and monuments on the graves way back when.
