Have you ever been to a steam rally or show, and looked at all the shiny, polished vintage cars and trucks on display and wondered how they went from being an old wreck in a scrapyard to looking pristine at such an event? Robert Smith takes you on that journey. From the very beginning, when you locate the vehicle and research its history. To stripping it down bit by bit to repair and restore it. To finding or making parts and finally rebuilding it into a magnificent showpiece. This book tells the story of a seventy-year-old former army Militant truck as it is brought back to life and slowly transformed into the magnificent example it once was.
