Ilya if I were going to hang that on a wall I'd leave it just the way it is. The patina adds nice character and things like that are supposed to look old. Just my $.02 Rich.

I just had a funny mental picture of some very confused pigeons trying to get a free meal out of the back of that truck

At the F100 Supernats this year there was actually a 53-55 F100...i dont remember exactly..that had the split hood like you were talkin about 51panelman. It looks killer...and i think it would be an awesome look for any truck.
