®evo03 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Rust, its patina, and it took 38yrs to get it looking this good, Maybe what they mean is sure its got surface rust, but it is rot free, Personally, to paint it now would be a crime, i would strip interior, detail it maybe cover buckets in original material, cage it, rebuild engine, detail all running gear, lower it, suspension mods, and widen em wheels 8 inch ats classics, maybe run it on 45's, then sleeper it, BMW, V8, jag axle, and hopefully by that stage, the paint would have more patina. Proper rat lokk sleeper, lazy mans show car But it is a rare car to do all that, but hey, life is short, But this other car does look good! Both autos! Weird. Edited March 14, 2018 by ®evo03 1 Quote
