    That frame looks good, the body looks horrible.

    I wouldn't change a damn thing about the body. That patina is fucking beautiful.. not to mention original.
    Yeah, it's a little rough around the edges and has a few dents and dings here and there... but that's called CHARACTER -- Something street rods and trailer queens with $10k paint jobs rarely display.

    I guess the old saying goes both ways -- One man's treasure can also be another man's trash.

    Patina = rust?

    You don't think that there's a body that has paint that's actually usable and you can polish up?

    In a way. Not just rust, but the way the paint job has been weathered and affected over a long period of time.

    I think it's awesome to see an old car/truck of that age that looks like it was sitting in a wooded, weeded, ivy-infested field/yard for the last 40 years now driving down the highway. I love it.

    Now what I don't care for is the people that take good, straight bodies and fuck them up to make them look like it has been sitting in a wooded, weeded, ivy-infested field/yard for the last 40 years. Later, QD.
