Patina...

[mikedag]

Interesting thread!

This is a very opinionated conversation. I won't give my preference, but even if I did who gives a damn?

This is as subjective as starting a thread bashing guys who put buckets in vs a bench seat, or who painted their trucks red instead of black. We all buy these with a vision and regardless of what the end result is, it is suppose to be a representation of your vision, creativity, knowledge...ect.

To be honest I am jealous of you southern guys, trying to find a solid patina truck in Canada after 50 years of salt is impossible, so here patina is so different from that average restoration it attracts a ton of attention, and is highly desirable. You see exactly what you are getting...an unmolested truck with no secrets from anyone else.
