I'm going to try and straighten my truck a bit and deal with 100% of the rust to try and stop the spread but the little dings and dents will be there when new paint goes on.
I agree. I love seeing awesome perfect restorations, but I also like to see honest 55+ year old trucks with all the dents and dings. Maybe I like them because that is how I am doing my build also and I will use my truck as a DD and a truck. I love this build!
