Re: C30 dually project goes patina

Thank you cornerstone. I'm no expert, and it's nice when the result is nice to look at.
fLashed: be my guest. Hope I can provide some inspiration.
AKC: It should at least be illegal to crush old cars.

So, here goes:
The other side was done in the same manner, and is now ready, except from some suitable red and green shades to sand to look like it all belongs.



Then time for the frame. It's totally covered in ugly surface rust, but all solid. It must've stood in a wet or acid place for some time.



A mobile sandblaster came and did his magic. Amazingly enough, he used less than 200lbs of sand. I'd guess that's about what would fit in a wheelbarrow. Next summer it will be all gone. Very convinient.



The frame was sprayed with some primer, wheels added, and it was back into the shop again.
