Old, weathered paint.......

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!

 

You lucky bastard.

 

here's my 51 bus.coupe when i just got it to shop,no paint here

 

Found this.....

 

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.

 

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

 

How it looked when I brought it home in Aug 2008...

Today...

 

You lucky bastard!

 

as found in '08:






After a few washings and a round with the buffer:

 

My Shoebox, and my old 58 Apache.

 

What a find..I'm amazed there are still cars like this around, what are the plans for it?

 

Yeah...that thing is rad...what are the aftermarket wheels? John

I just did a thread on my dads panel truck, but we just got it running from sitting outside for 45 years. Nothing fake about the weathered paint on it. Thanks Sam
