Re: Restoring Rusty
I know 73-87% of you were here for Rusty and not for me, but if you could show some love to Rusty's dad Dusty I think we could keep the pedigree going! [same bad humor and way more shady work]

Re: Restoring Rusty
Welcome Juan! and welcome back to Rusty.
Glad to see you both here. A lot of us here have had our morning coffee reading the "Adventures of Rusty and The Greg". Enjoy the history.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Hi everyone I have been enjoying driving Rusty to work all week, truck runs great. The first thing I’ll be doing is restoring the wood grain piece of trim on the dash. I’ll show you guys how it comes out, maybe some of ya will want to get yours restored as well.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Hey Juan, welcome! Thanks for joining up and it's great that you're posting already. I look forward to seeing your restoration of the wood grain. Are you a painter by profession?

Re: Restoring Rusty
I redid the woodgrain on the piece of trim, but I rushed it and the clear coat shrunk the base coat under the stain... I am re doing it but with this weather I am having to wait days in between coats.

Re: Restoring Rusty
I hate when that happens. It did look good though. Do you think you can just sand the clear and respray?
