I never thought i could spend this much time and money making something so ugly. I'm going to letter the doors for my shop but otherwise this is as good as it's gonna get!

Looks awesome. That's my kind of patina. Like the daisy's as well.

It looks perfect!

The wheels look a little out of place...... But I love the patima

Nice! I think Maaco paint is still running a Spring special! Or you can rattle can it like I did mine.

Looks great the way it is! love the patina with that green paint.

Great looking truck! Especially like the wheels.

Do NOT Maaco or rattle can that truck!

There are some that need it, but this isn't one of them.

Hell, the paint is the high point of the truck!

Its a survivor. I think the paint looks cool too!

I agree. That's some great "weathering" on the paint. Keep it
as is for sure.

Couple more shots,

Painted up the mill.....



Freshened up the interior...




My pride and joy...my Factory Dodge Tach clone...

Your truck looks very nice. Clean and original, great job!

That's one of the best looking 6ers I have ever seen.....looks awesome not too much chrome, not all the same color, nice decal on the valve cover.....once again, very nice

I'm just not big on the whole "patina" thing, I guess. Any vehicle looks a LOT better in one color, if nothing else. "Patina" is just another word for "needs paint"!!

Nice truck you have there. The interior and the engine compartment make it pop! But, I'd paint the upper half of the truck, were it mine. If you had old chromies or a set of painted wheels on it, I'd probably leave it as-is. But with the new wheels, your truck just screams for paint. My opinion, of course.

I LOVE Patina...[and I like survivor stuff, and restored as well, but I'm drawn to a patina rod done right.]

Different strokes for sure . It's all good, some folks like B5 blue and others F3 green...

But 'new' wheels ?? Those American 200S wheels were made in 1970! They are older than the truck!

That truck looks just right as is. I'm diggin' it!! Great job...

Beautiful truck and I am jealous, but I agree with you 100%
