IMHO, leaving it 'as is' over painting it flat black is a no brainer.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Leave it like it is. Put it all outside and let it weather. Looks good to me.

marysville,tn. I just took those wheels off a mustang tires are bald. going to a 275/60/17 in the rear and maybe a 235/65/17 in front its just a roller with the suspention just in place all the body got was a power wash when it cam home. but the chevy is going the be lifted with some white wagon wheels and some big tires. I have two boys 6 and 8 years old thatthat are like night and day, I thought would be fun to have a ford and a chevy. and 2wd v 4x4. they both love green. I hate i so Patina is something I can do with green and like it.

Looks like one of those burban conversions being that there is no bed gap. That one caught my eye as well!

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?

Am second owner of this 72 Longhorn BB 4 speed with buckets and console - runs very strong, looks rough but no rust and very few dings - will look much different in a year or two with new Hugger Orange and some white.

Re: Patina, shop logo'd, rusty trucks?

I'm brand spankin new here, and I thought this one might fit well into this thread. It's not driveable, and I'll be trailering it home probably tonight. It's my Grandpa's old truck. That's authentic rust. And the mouse crap all over the inside is real, too!
