Re: Patina or new paint for my new 72 find?

Thanks Schrum! Actually I took a concensus on this tread and was on the fence but the overwhelming response was leave it alone so ther than rockers and fixing dents it is going to stay as you see it unless I get bored and decide to repaint.
Thanbks for the compliment
Tim

Re: Patina or new paint for my new 72 find?

Thanks! I knew the old white wagon wheels (no offense towards those using them) werent going to cut it from the get go and if it wasnt for Joesjunk I would still be hunting for a replacement.
Between the wheels and the tires it really fits the truck.
