Re: 56 shop truck build

I think so too. I wanted a worn out look and this truck sat for the right amount of time but it was sprayed red oxide that faded to pink and I'm not down with driving a pink truck. The fender was shot with rattle cans and sanded with 400 grit just as a test panel and I liked the way it looked so I decided to commit to it and buy my paint before I changed my mind. I'm going to leave to small dings in the body to add that extra character to the look but any rust is being cut out and replaced with new metal. Well newer metal, I found an old fender in the bush that was in good enough shape to use for patch panels. Gotta be as resourceful as you can sometimes.
