All I have.......at least it's "weathered"!

 

Heres a couple of my 40 p/u

 

Hey, has anybody heard of putting WD40 on a car with weathered paint like the ones on the pictures? A guy told me that It wouldn't hurt enamel paint and I could clean it off with soap and water and a good paint prep cleaner if I ever wanted to paint it. The WD 40 would help keep the patina and keep the rust down . . . any ideas on this?

 

Here's some of my latest patina...

Don't know if this counts.... 1940 Dodge Coupe mocked up in my garage. The paint is exactly the way I got the car. There's a big gray primer splotch on the driver's side quarter that I'm not sure how I'd work into the old black paint, or I'm even going to keep the old paint. Might get it running and driving, snap a few pictures, in case its got a little history. It's someone's old hot rod....

 

Here are a couple

 

Haha!
I have something similar...got this 1940's gem from the original owner. She said her father told her to always keep it inside when not being ridden, so it's in fantastic condition. Even the tires are original!

 

Cool Pics! Keep'm coming.

 

Excellent stuff.. Can't make the fake stuff look right, without looking at the REAL THING.

My former 'Tater Truck' I sold a couple years ago.

 

Rear and night view - A few days ago - just after its first drive in a looonnng while.

Side view small - As found a few weeks ago. Sat for over 7 years outside. At least it had a killer view through the rear view during that time!

Gonna be a shame to wash it up! The drivers side tires have quite a bit of green mossy sheen on them.

Organic Hot Rods Unite!

 

guess I should add Franke, my shop truck...

 

WOW very cool!!!!

 

better get used to this look... once the tree nazis outlaw paint all our cars will look like that.

 

My old truck has a lot of original patina ... maybe too much.

 

here's my 'ol girl getting some finishing touches from mother nature this morning!

 

My 5w..the old weathered man is my father.

Original paint / interior.
