Thanks Jason. The patina look sure does save a lot of time and mess (sanding)

I sold 4 old tires and wheels the other day and delivered them in the truck. The guy asked me if I had plans to paint it and I said no, because if the truck was painted, I would not be using it like I am now.

Another time we pulled into a Cruise Night and 5 or 6 teenage girls were taking selfies with the truck in the background. we asked them if they want to get into the back and we will take a pic of them, so they all jumped in and thought that was great.

Having a patina truck sure reduces the 'worry' level, so it seems to get used more. (Home Depot, groceries, transporting car parts, propane tanks, gas tanks, running errands, ...etc) It has become my daily driver when the weather is decent.

Keep up the great work on yours, as I enjoy seeing your metal fab skills, and looking forward to seeing it all in paint.
