Two from Colorado.

My Impala, turquoise with real shitty white respray. Theres some filler abuse under the white so I dont think I can save the current set up. Will probably need a strip and respray.

Probably been posting enough pics of this - just a tad excited!

I'm still working on acquiring this one from the local.

This car at Good Guys had some great patina.I think it belongs(ed?) to a lister.

I got this '57 150 Handyman wagon last weekend. The more I look at it, the more I really like it. I might try the CLR trick on it, it's from Montana so it's not that rotty. Not the best pic, but you get the idea.

My 55. 32 years in a wooden shed. I rubbed it with a foam pad and this is it. Orig paint. The hood is thin but still looks great.

bonesy · 07-25-2010, 02:07 PM

40+ year old cracked paint job on the body - orig paint on the dash.

gearhead1952 · 07-25-2010, 03:00 PM
