Brotherhood of the legendary REO

[PeterHarris]

Hey guys

i just think we should have a thread dedicated to this one specific REO.
we can post some pics of all the looks it had.

if im not mistaken here are the owners in order:
@Cape vaping supplies
@The Golf
@peter harris
@Cape vaping supplies (again)
@MurderDoll
@huffnpuff

my story:
when i got this REO, she was a black wrinkle with some fair wear on her. (GRAND) (no LP or SL)
in her time with me she had undergone 2 paint jobs, but mainly because i messed up the 1st.
the final look was a raw aluminium, with a polished door.

Wow, the words chameleon or loslyf comes to mind. I'll post some picks this weekend of how she looks as received , currently she's a LP and naked...again, except when she's wearing a little black number and all breezy in the back from initial SL milling.

Received her while she was in wood dip.

Then milled her to a LP and did the slotting at the rear to open her up for SL style.

Didn't want to do a complete SL as I wanted to keep it a unique look.

Then my journey ended with her and it was time for her to have a new love.

Wow, I cannot believe how many owners and finishes this Reo has had.

The new owner should baptize this Reo as TRANSFORMER

Having read this i kimda feel bad. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for her. She my first love and i let her go for a younger lower profile model. Im such a guy sorry babes.

Remember its not you its me. I needed to grow up and settle down before i truely appreciated you

Wow. an amazing life she has had already - but this speaks of the durability and simplicity of the design. She reminds me of the Reno Racers like Rare Bear that started life as converted WWII fighters and changed many owners and paint schemes over the decades.
