Everything is restorable if you have enough duct tape. LOL.

This is in the Australian section of the Cleveland Zoo.

Money and time, a lot from both of them. If you restore it, don't change the image, I like it. LOL Nice shot, Jim.

Cool image JimboB. The treatment really brings out the rust. I see it says Outback on the license plate. I bet it was outback.
Excellent post.

Nothing like an old rusty truck to bring back to life with a little HDR. Nice job on the old buggy, Jimbob.

LYTRO. The new light field photography. Refocus your shots AFTER you have taken them. Just click on the word LYTRO. See a VIDEO HERE.

I think this is totally restorable Jim. Dont forget the barbed wire though. It and duct tape are a team. LOL! Great find and capture.

Hi, Jimbob....

I'm not even sure it needs duct tape. From this angle I'd say it looks as good as a new Hudson, Studebaker or Nash Rambler. I guess I'm a little confused why this car is representative somehow of Australia but that's a cultural issue, I guess.

In my mind you can't beat a great rust shot. This shot qualifies as a beauty in the rust category. I would also say it belongs near the top in the Old Hippie category and should receive accolades in the insane colors category. Toss in that busted side window and this shot has it all. Fabulous post photo work. This is one of those shots that cannot be color oversaturated.

I have issues with Roger here:) Love this immensely JB but it is supersaturated for me:) Still, it ranks high among your images for the totality of the shot. Good work buddy!

It's so funny, but beautiful. If you restore it, are you going to sell ice cream with it? Count me in. LOL

Nah, shame to restore it . It looks quite at home in its delapidated state just as it is and makes a fine colourful image well worked by you Jim :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Have seen trucks driving in a more bad state than this one without restauration, so don't waste your duct tape Jimbob, lol.

Great capture again, mate!

Let's start a restoring via PSP, then HDR then we can propose to a car maker.

With duct tape you could restore this old beauty for about ten dollars, what a bargain !
