I have been working my rear off to get my WC56 ready for the Tower Park show and my neighbor Keith on his WC52 also, so the deal is I have this person at the auto parts store overhear me asking for zinc cromate primer and asks "what is that for ? I tell him it is the better coating for sand blasted bare metal. 'oh what are your painting ? I tell him a WW2 command car. He then tells me he restores Toyotas. I say 'thats nice" He then go's on to tell me that his restorations are more difficult than mine, I just laughed and said "you have no idea of what your talking about" He then gets persistant that he takes these cars down to the bare shell and rebulds them and then starts acting all ultra, I say Dude, you have to remember the WW2 vehicles were built for a life span of 30-90 days and the warranty was honored until it was loaded on the box car to war ! There was no extra primers, the metal was sometimes thinner and so on, I say they were built to be blown up and not cost the tax payers alot of money and 70 years later to even have one that is rebuildable is a miracle., I tell him lets see how your Toyotas look after 70 years and if they can be rebuilt, Geez
I wanted to tell him so other things but being a Toyota restorer I felt he wouldn't understand anyway
