Hot Rods 1956 Ford F-100 Big Window The King Of Patina? Show me Better?

Hey Gang! Just picked up this 56 Ford Big Window been sitting down in Los Angeles CA since 1970
That's 47 years & yes it picked up some Patina Check it out! Let's see better! Tks Bill @ Solo Speed Shop

 

Nice, I'd still hit it with CLR though.

 

does everyone have a block wall around their yard in California?

 

It has Flat Clear on it! Tks Bill

 

Yes! It keeps The Rats out!!!

 

I still don't get preserving rust with clear, but that's just me.

 

Well If you like Patina then the clear helps it stay like it is. Won't get worse & yes it will not get better! Bill

 

Nice Effie.

 

Would look great with a shiny new paint job

 

Mine isn't a big window. But it has the surface rust. Same rear bumper as the first truck pictured. I will take a wire brush on a drill and remove as much as possible. Rust converter and flat black paint. Ive pulled the front clip and 352 FE engine. Gonna get a nailhead that I already have. The last picture that bondo is almost 50 years old1

 

I noticed the fordomatic scrirt on the hood. Mine also had a factory automatic trans and chrome grill. It was a 272 Y block originally.

 

Nice Old Wolf!
Paint?? I Don't Think so! I like Blue!

 

I don't think of rust as patina. Aged faded paint yes. rust no.

 

Ive got this nail head and a stick trans for it. Was gonna install it in a 50 sedan delivery. But sold the delivery so I decided it will find a home in the 56 Pk.

 

Hey Joey Car Punk! Yes UR right but I bet your aged & faded paint will have some rust or soon will be getting some!

Nice Truck!

 

How many light blue 56 fords do you have?

 

This is my dads. All natural patina screaming for a ratrodder to pay loads of extra money for. Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

It is a good looking truck but I have to agree with Joey. HRP

Metal Eating Rats it looks like to me! Nice! Tks!

 

My first car was a 56 F-100. And although 56's have grown to be my least favorite 50's Ford pickup, a big window 56 is the cat's meow!
