My method on my old car is to get ride of the rust, so your know the drill, cut, weld, grind, epoxy, filler epoxy, sanding primer, seal temporary with spray can of enamel. I can till see it now! Pretty? NO, but it got me there! I gave a c*** So a can or two of Ajax and a stiff rag, I could then see the see again, but way faded almost down to primer, OK so down to some prime. He’s one smart dude! Right first ( and sorta only) was my first ride at age 16, a hand me down 49 chevy It was originally blue, but in 1964 when I got it, it had sat under a SW Ga pecan tree for all those years. He’s also the one who convinced me to make the 10 hour drive to North Carolina to go buy my Duster. If I were you, I’d get the car running and driving and ride that fad till it goes out, THEN worry about body and paint.” And he wasn’t wrong. He told me “the ratty muscle cars are the hot fad right now. So tell me, which route is truly better?Īlso, when I was debating on what to do back when I got my car, a good friend and a member here gave me some excellent advice. Now, had I torn into the car, it’d still be sitting in thousands of pieces, I’d probably be burned out by lack of time and money to make any progress on the car AND in those 5 years, we have moved, and while we still own the first place, we are now 25 minutes away and I rarely get down there. In those 5 years I have been able to maybe put another $2-3k in the car total. Well obviously I decided to go the second route.
PATINA GREEN BODY PAINT. FULL
Get the mechanical side of it done (car hadn’t ran in 20+ years) and ENJOY the car and fix things as I can and then someday, when I have a second one running, tear the Duster apart for a full redo. Tear into the car and strip it all down and start on a full blown redo or 2. When I bought my Duster, I had a decision to make. I’m not saying it’s wrong but just because that’s your preference, also doesn’t make it right.
