I was contacted by the "picture car guy" at McGee St productions about leasing my truck, WD for 3 months for the production of "A Painted House." I went ahead and did it. The lease contract was for just short of 3 times what I paid for the truck.
This is what WD looked like when I leased it to them. The engine, electrical system, and brakes had all been rebuilt, but the body was in rough shape.
This is what they did to tart it up for the movie. They did what they had to do to give it the look they needed. They wanted a cracked windshield and went out and bought a bunch of windshields and busted them until they got one they liked. If they used it at all they must have glued it on top of the existing windshield. When they returned the truck there were about 6 spare windshields, plus a box of random parts that I can only guess was the result of someone going to the local NAPA and saying, "Give me everything you have that fits a 1947 Dodge WD-15." The only permanent damage was a caved-in hub cap and a dent in the roof caused by them tossing a spare tire on the cab roof and caving it in. That one really pissed me off.
Geoffrey Lewis drove it and said it was a blast.
This is WD after they returned it to me.
This is WD after I did an extensive restoration. NO WAY IN HELL would I lease my truck to anyone at this point.
