Best response EVER!!!! Patina, lazy mans restoration......

I think technically I need to let the newly exposed metal rust for a few decades before it's classifed as "patina." The wound is too fresh

Power wash, some comet cleaner and hand wax.
Looking much better.

Comet. Nice.

My cruiser is to much of a mess on the exterior to post here, but I do appreciate the patina rigs.

Decided to use one of my favorite pics (without permission from @wngrog ) and make another poster for my garage wall. Arrived today:

What are your plans for this one? Selling ? There are people that would probably pay good money for an @wngrog baselined and patina'd special...I might be one of them. Where'd this truck come from?

I have a thread going on in the 40 section. It was a one-owner Louisiana farm truck. Parked for 14 years. I got it alive and running and a Mud member contacted me and purchased it.
Now I’m on phase 2.0 putting all the goodies he wanted on it. It’s been a very fun project

Rustic Green 40's are stacking up around here in Mississippi. 3 in my group of friends alone, hence the "3" in the name. Green Weenie 3, aka Weenie 3..... Backstory: This 40 was bought new in Louisiana in 1974 and lived a hard life on a farm, I have a mound of registration papers stretching...

Thanks! I took some pics over on the hoboken/jersey city, NJ waterfront back in July. On the way back from that ride I spun a rod bearing. Good news is I'm back up and running now with a rebuilt 2F.

Here are a couple more...

I did a similar thing when I made a calendar using some of my favorite pictures from this thread.

Weenie 3 has all the bumps and bruises of a 45 year life

Patina be gone!

Beneath all that bondo and cheap paint lurks the brown crusty beast, occasionally poking its head out to taunt me.
