i prefer driver / beater / survivor . gonna get rid of the rust and found me someone to make the new repairs look just like the old paint .......... hades i ran right into one of the 4 fe's that was in my garage along the north wall one day pulling in , all i did was get out look at my new big honkin' scratch in the right fender , shrug my shoulders , get in back up and scrape it backwards , put it in again and went inside . can't imagine what one of the super shiny guy's here { no offense fella's i like 'em too ! }reaction might have been ........................... did i mention breaking the overload pack on the left side from carrying too much weight , or dragging my son in laws hooonda out of a snowy ditch .................... can't do that with a purty one or you'll be in the hospital with a nervous breakdown !!!!!!!!

 

look at this patina-ed truck on ebay: a 53 F-100 with a frame off but as the seller says: "All rust locations were professionally repaired and painted to blend in with the patina paint." The interior looks new; the truck has been lowered (a bit too low for my stocker tastes. tho)
