Patina got her winter coat of Fluid Film today. It’s amazing I’ve never put a drop of paint on this frame and how black it is after Fluid Film does it’s work. I really love the thin layer the spray rig setup lays down too versus the aerosol cans.
Did you use the water hose in the shop? The floor looks wet. Patina’s underside looks pristine.

Yep. Missed a few spots and needed to get it right.

Nolan,
I have followed project patina for some time now but have never read through the entire thread.
Coincidentally I decided to read it through this weekend while my family and I were spending a weekend in Ocean Springs filling our souls with a little Mississippi. Eating good food and listened to a few singer/songwriters on the gulf coast translates into a damn good time. Of course the more I read the more I missed “The Iron Yak”
Love the thread. The banter between you and the old guy you bough patina from kinda reminds me of the movie Doc Hollywood when the patient asked the Doc to read the letters from her sister who has a new beau
a “Pakistani”. And it only gets better from there. Love the comraderie, the trash talk, the education and mostly the reminder that we just need to enjoy the ride. Keep up the good work.
Regards
Lance

100% for certain that won’t be happening unless someone comes along and buys my farm answer I can be close to some trails
Good luck with the sale man. Still my favorite 40 build and just as awesome in person. You’ve poured a lot of time, sweat, and money into it over the past few years.

I was disappointed to hear this when I saw it on Instagram... but after reading this post I admire the way you're passing it on. May the next owner be worthy...

Certainly not just casting this one aside. I just have too many old things around here and I’m obsessive about driving them and keeping them all in top shape. That takes a lot of effort with 7 Cruisers.

I have extra space so you can make my place a satellite parking center for the running truck. Im sure they would all get some seat time.
