How To Draw an Old Pickup Truck

Penciling Old Pickups in Hegle’s Backyard

Definition of brain building: the designing or constructing of something (perhaps an old pickup) within one’s brain.

Before we go further, you really ought to meet Carter Colby. Digital-age kids can be pretty complex. Young Colby is no exception, but he’s old-fashion hands-on, too. When he’s not cutting, welding, and grinding in Dad’s car barn, he’d rather push a Ticonderoga #2 than stare at a newfangled phone. At age 11, Colby is a car guy. He’s a third-generation hot rodder, in fact, with an exceptional appreciation for old pickup trucks.

005 Dodge pick up, old pick up truck, classic truck, junk yard, Dodge truck — There’s no Dodge shortage either, but this is where our aftermarket options thin out a bit—or two. Brainbuilders, you’re on your own to figure these out.

Hegle’s Sales & Service is an older automotive business, first established by Shane’s father in the ’40s. Out in the backyard there’s a whole bunch of building material. Trucks and parts are indeed for sale but since we’re here for the purpose of brainbuilding let’s focus on that for now.
