way to go bud

 

thanks man, been a bit of a fight but this can has been a fun car to work on

 

Hey RustyL...are you a concrete guy? I recognize the name on your truck.

 

A brake and some shirker stretcher.
Then some cutting and welding equipment you should be able to knock out most of that car.

 

...you talkin to me?...I'm retired but did a lot of concrete work as a union laborer,..
...my red/yellow Ford belonged to a farmer...

 

Jim, go for it! Your car will look like a resurrected beater that's been brought back from the dead and what's wrong with that. Make it safe and have fun with it. There is beauty and an art to replicating the effects of age. The Japanese term for it is wabi-sabi, Disney has painters on staff to faux finish their parks to look worn or weathered where needed. Most people have seen good patinaed work and never knew it.

 

RustyL...The name on your truck I think is Johansen....I was a concrete guy for 20 years with my old man. He had a yard in Evanston. There was a neighbor concrete contractor by the name of Johansen and he had a truck similar yours with same colors. He retired but his son still runs the business. Thought you might be him. Still might be his truck.
