My daughter and I just made a 200 mile trip in the 56 f600.
went to a Billetproof car show with lots of patina (pre 64 hot rods and customs no billet parts allowed) glad they let us into the show... the man at the gate said "no billet on this truck" and waved us in. It was a great father daughter day!

 

This is one of my 1930 Ford Model AA trucks. "Patina" is about all thats left. Have plans to rebuild it.

Flattie V-8 with stock running gear. Hone Overdrive.

 

Here are some more I found online that are pretty dang cool:

 

Here's a coworker's F1. He's the one that has the F3 waiting for me to get. And, yeah, that is my roof section he used from my F6 last year. 3" chop. Perhaps more rust than patina, lol.

 

The ultimate patina'd truck.

I wonder whatever happened to it.

 

i liked this one too

 

BTW, an old school body man and painter told me that he uses pieces of cardboard when trying to get faux-tina on his paint jobs. He just rubs the cardboard on the painted vehicle until primer starts to show through. He told me that the effect is much more controlled than using sandpaper. I haven't tried it yet, but will attempt soon.

 

My 53 on the Blue Ridge Parkway yesterday!

 

Borrowed these from the HAmb, hope ya don't mind a few door logos etc.











Sorry, No Patina on this one...








And if I ever started my own business, I would maybe use thsi name and have to adapt this logo and paint it on a truck or a panel Van for my work truck.

 

Mine...



You can't really see it in the pics, but the paint on the front fenders is showin it's age, and the paint on the hood and roof is flaking off.

Part of me wants to do the body work, the other part wants to leave it alone and enjoy it as it is.

 

I'm really liking those 51s and 52s

 

Getting there but still a bit shiny in places...

 

I love the grill mclaughlinrp!

I am currently trying to get my grill straightened up and ready for the stainless strips...as soon as I can get them from my friend.

 

Nnice Merc! It's a long ways away from Canada.
