Let's see your patina'd 55-57 chevys

Yo Low, that car is Bitchin'. Gasser project?

 

No exact plans yet but the quarters already being radiused helps justify it.

 

Productive Saturday. Finally got both cars running, and outside the garage together. Didn't know if this would ever happen. 57 in a shed for 35yrs. in Washington. 55 in a box for 30yrs. in California. Blue one to Billetproof. Yellow one to Bonneville. If ya see Me.....feel free to set yer Beer on the fender! No "ShowCar" worries with these two!

 

a 57 210 2dr wagon i just pick up

 

this one I just picked up and it looks ripe for a 2 door conversion.

 

and my current little 4 door.. some CLR and and scotch brite it went from green to gray. I've had a lot of fun with this car.

 

dig it!

 

Awesomee!

 

Here take your pick

 

Or this what that has been sitting here for years...

love that nomad in the upper left corner...... west hills ???

 

this is west hills? I grew up in west hills. Where?

 

great pictures! love the Patina rides

 

The patina suits that gold Drag car, and while some cars look cool in tired old paint (The salmon pink and black 4 door) but these are generally pretty cars deserving ..if not restoration, at least decent paint (period race cars excepted LOVE that gold car!)

 

here's a handyman, untouched for many years...

 

My '56 150

 

Here is my 56 Chevy.

 

wagon I got last month. looks like one repaint. we took red scotch brites to it and it cleaned up pretty quick. When it gets cooler I'll clr it with scotchbrites

 

Just swapped for this one, not patina per se.... but I gotta share it.

 

From Patina to Primer

 

Here is what we started with in 03. Wanted to keep the 30 year old paint but after repairing the rust etc we painted it red and with an off white roof.

 

I didn't know that scratches counted as patina. I thought that it had to be rusty to have patina.

 

FOR SALE - Including Patina, at no extra charge

 

Locomotion D/Altered...

Digital patina?

 

Well if it ever gets rusty let me know I'll buy it and build a shrine around it. Man could you imagine the healing powers of a rusty corvette would have?

 

Hey, porknbeaner? fiberglass doesn't rust.

 

I'm kinda thinkin Beaner knows that.
