Media Patina Appreciation: Show Us Your Rusty Land Cruiser!

View attachment 1760904 Would you put hubcaps on this or leave the steelies alone?

I powder coated OEM steelies black, bought hub caps, put them on and then took them off— I like the look without them and with my Super Traxions (alla OeregonFJ who I always give credit for the idea) they just look good and not overdone (less is more). I am biased but your rig looks look tough without them—again that is the look I like— reasonable minds will differ

I got new tires and painted my wheels back in December. I haven't had the caps on since then. I kinda like the utilitarian look of naked wheels.

That’s gonna need a 50 gallon drum of BLO.

I like it!

I love it—even the bezel does not bother me

This one followed me home today. I’m hoping not to change much of the paint that is above the pinstripe

Nice ‘66 or ‘67? What’s the story? Paint looks original.... cool find.

It's a 1966. I've been watching for one for at least a decade but have never seen one in Canada.

This one showed up in the classifieds last week 45 minutes from where I was working. Largely unmolested except for the Chev six cylinder. I already have a line on an F to swap in.

All 7 seats are intact but need recovering. I'll add photos when I have a chance to take some more.

Forgive me, Patina, for I have sinned...

I posted this picture (and a few more) on page 3 of this thread, shortly after I got it running again. The patina looked pretty good from a distance, but not so good up close (3 previous color changes visible). Most of the patina is gone now, and the rest is going soon. Sorry, folks.
