Old, weathered paint.......

Figured I'd add mine to the bunch. The 39 Dodge is my daily driver. The 37 panel is the most recent acquisition. From what my pop and I can gather, the dragster is one of the last front engined top fuel dragsters. It was built/campaigned around 70.

 

Someone ought to be keel hauled for that one

 

Not mine


These are in my shed. paint on the A is apparently from '59.... not sure about the duece, altho its definetily had at least 3 different colours so far.

 

If this was mine, I'd want to pimp it up a little -- whitewalls & shiny bits -- but I love it just the way it is, too. Neat car, great engine.

 

ours, origional 1949 paint




apart from these bits

 

Gorgeous Anglia, bro..............

 

Thanks, will be alot better soon. Will never paint it though!

 

from a time that never was in a hotrod that would'nt have existed

 

Here's one from my fleet, banger motor & all.


And my old Crosley drag car.

 

It's a new year, lets keep his ball rollin!!!

 

Here's a few I like. I wish my Dodge had "patina" like this. I love old weathered black paint.

 

Here's some pics I took at the local junk yard last weekend. Definitely been there a long time. Can't fake this...

 

Pete, what the hell happend to that first 3 window??

 

I'll get in on the act too.... My '52 chevy pickup ,driven off of its farm home of 20+ years after a previous life of delivering groceries in a small town. Sadly I decided I had too many projects and sold this one about 4 months ago. Wish I had it back, but the boy that's got it now is making it a little more road worthy than I had it.

 

Here's my Diamond T, a '47 or '48, weathered from decades of setting outside in the southwest. My initial thought was to leave it as is on the exterior, and finish the interior, engine bay and underneath. I'm building a new box though, and building my own rear fenders, so it wouldn't match, and I really dislike fake aging.

Our '48 Pontiac is weathered from 34 years of abuse, 25 on this paint job, and it shows. I was gonna paint it when I updated it a few years ago, but my buddies told me no, it'd only make the chrome, stainless, interior and glass look shabby. So, it's aging gracefully, like me
