Thank you!

Yea, you're exactly right.
I mentioned this elsewhere on another website, the reason I did this is because, if I do a nice paint job, I feel then the moldings need to be polished, but grill needs to be rechromed, the bumpers needed to be redone. Then you go backwards and get into the suspension, interior. Then have to rebuild the motot... Before you know it, you have 30K plus in a truck.
My '66 is the one I'm going to do all the above on.
Already started that project.

The patina paint job fits the rest of the truck.
Plus owning a bodyshop, I always wanted to do a patina on a truck/car. I've done a couple on motorcycles before.

This patina truck will be for sale down the road.
