Projects it will polish out

Looks like its been over polished already..
That must have been submerged in a pond or covered in fertilizer.

 

I'm thinking battery explosion, ...in 1955,
that was never properly cleaned up and neutralized.

 

"That **** will buff out" might be the quintessential car guy phrase...

 

Hood & fender...good to go.

 

We've all heard of Patina, I'd call that Rot-tina. Better hurry up and shoot some clear on it before it gets any worse !

 

seriously, how does it get that bad, without it all being rotted?

 

Sprinkler adjustment.

 

this buick is for sale on nex- tech in kansas

 

It's not a tumor.

 

what 56 Don said.....a bag of fertilizer was put on top of that fender.....we thinkin'.....

 

Probably one of those " cut away" cars fom the dealer show room to show off the engine!

 

That thing's been polished so much, you can see right through it!

 

THAT is probably the most unique example of deterioration I have ever seen!

Sheet...little Bondo and some gray primer an she'll be good to go...

 

Some sick part of me wants that car just so I can put a "before" photo in the window once it's repaired and driving.

 

Looks like Hawaiian patina to me maybe needs a little green moss around the leading edge.

 

more like good to gone !! or is it the invisable womans car during that time of the month..

or metal termites .

 

I'm gunna sat the nose was stored separate probably 1/2 submerged, especially the condition of the grill makes that look unnatural as hell

 

I can't look away from the picture! How in the hell did that one part rust that bad?

 

They probably want 7 grand for it too

 

Nope, eleven hundred. A bargain at half the price!

And someone in Olmitz has another hood, so you're halfway there...

Guess that car must have had a large shrub/bush or small tree grow up through the fender and drop its leaves in one spot? Or it was parked next to a downspout?

 

Now that's some good yard art!!!!Bruce.

 

It doesn't look rusted out to me...looks like someone took a torch to it

 

Bottom parts of the bumper are gone,too.

 

The Visor and the mustache look great.

 

I just want to know "How do you wash an outside-of-the-barn find?"

 

Sitting in a cattle shed (with cattle in it) will do just that.......

 

I saw a 37 or 8 BMW cabriolet in South Dakota that looked like that on the back end. A pile of sheep **** had been pushed up against it. That wouldn't explain the fairly nice looking chrome.

 

Simple...it's a 3/4 in the barn find.
