Default Re: Patina makes this too good to restore?

I really like it !!! It looks better than most of mine when I got them .

I was able to do all the work on mine

. I've got a rusty June 29 tudor named Gus .

Gus looks like solid rust .

If I use a scotch brite pad with water I can scuff off the rust and expose original paint .

Rust can penetrate from the metal through the paint . That's not to say that all of the rust can be removed in that manner or that it will work on every application .

The rust looks pretty solid and the scotch brite method probably would have little or no effect on your truck.

I just thought I would mention the possibility for anyone who may be interested.

Of course this wouldn't be restoration . This would help clean off some of the character without removing it all .
