And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Appearing as a very solid car to the eye, I say take it apart and paint it in the original colors and put it on the road as if it just came off the showroom floor.
I've never been a big rat rod fan. It just looks like neglect. I also hate to see a car rust away to nothing and that looks like a good start if not repaired and painted.
Paint it orange. Paint the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia on the roof. Weld the doors shut and remove the driver's and passenger's windows. Name it General Lee.
It looks like they already put some kind of protective clear coat on it. I think it looks sad - probably fits right in at the trailer park tho. I would pop for the paint job, depending on overall condition.
That car is called "Patina" The guy that owns it is named Chris Birdsong. There is a complete video history on it on Youtube . Just type in Junkerup and Patina.. Be prepared to be amazed at some of his work.
I agree with a lot of the comments patina looks good on old trucks but not a fan of it on a car much. Paint it or get a mullet to complete the Joe Dirt look
leave as is would be pretty tempting
ReplyDeleteThe rusty look is nice on working and classic trucks, but looks like neglect on cars. Paint it.
ReplyDeletepaint it
ReplyDeleteI prefer being able to shave in the paint job...paint it. Rusty finishes are for old pick ups.
ReplyDeletePaint it, but with same color pattern and rust-colored paint. Protects the metal, still looks flame-tacular.

ReplyDeleteHow long would the metal last without any protection (like paint) to keep it from oxidizing into crumbs?
ReplyDeleteMy 1920 model T is doin alright in bare rust. :) Gets about 10K a year in mileage but NEVER in the snow.

ReplyDeletePaint it and return it to car show looks.
ReplyDeleteScrap it, ugly rusty old barge.
ReplyDeleteYou're standing in front of the mirror again aren't you?
DeleteProtect the metal with an application of low gloss 2K clear coat.

ReplyDeleteput 4 or 5 coats of johnson paste wax on it, & put a manual choke under the dash.
ReplyDeleteRepaint it, don't let the rust win.

ReplyDeleteSome actually damage a good paint job to have "Patina"! In My day we used to call it "Rust"!
ReplyDeletePaint it to look like the rust.
ReplyDeleteRepaint but keep it authentic. Nothing perfect. Nothing fancy just bring it back to life.
ReplyDeleteHow is this even a question?
ReplyDeleteOh that's right, lots of maroonz pay big money for ripped up jeans....sigh...
