    Nice job but this is "fresh paint".

    My 53 Aero Lark. It was originally blue but someone repainted it sometime in the early 70s I think.

    I do plan on painting it. There is way to much surface rust on this puppy for my preference.

    My old 51 GMC that I drove around in last spring. Note the custom fuel delivery system.

  10. A few pictures I took of my buddies new 1951 Chevy Styleline Deluxe. Had a pretty nice paint job before it sat for 7 years. Has a really great weathered look now.

    35 yrs in a shed. I hit it with a foam pad and finesse it. [​IMG]
     
  13. My 49 Dodge truck onto 95 Dodge Dakota project...

    The paint is staying exactly as-is!!! I think that it is VERY cool that it started life RED, then WHITE, and now it is BLUE! No way that I'm changing that!

    The last photo is my really crude attempt at Photoshopping how the truck is going to sit... (I'm going to run "normal" Mopar wheels on it and not the 20" split rims, of course.)

    Larry, recognize this one? You need to keep yours as close to 'as-is', it rocks.

    That merc is really cool....not something you see every day.
     
  25. Yeah it's a 61 Meteor 600, i havent seen another one like it yet, I 've come close, but there arent many out there. He wants to flake the roof add some pinstripin, but leave the original paint alone till he gets sick of it. He knows you can never return to this.

    Larry, when did you get that truck. Nice!

    Here are some updated pics of my coupe.

    The '55 was painted in the 80's I'm guessing. This is after I buffed it.
