Default Then there are the superheros

Hi All

Then we have the collectors, conservators, superheros who sweep in and rescue the restorable and the unrestorable from under the noses of the scrappers who would take CMPs and other old pieces of mechanical history to their finial resting place.

Over the years I have been the recipient of parts salvaged from trucks well past restoration, but those individual parts have helped restore another truck. These parts were saved, not by someone who planned to restore that particular truck, but rather by people who just didn't want to see the truck go to the scrapper.

But then again over the years we have seen people on MLU restore something that most of us thought was un-restorable.

Cheers Phil
