Faking the patina makes the baby jesus cry .......

It's cool to see this thread as I mostly been into VW's for years. I had thought( till now )that a small core of VW people only liked the patina ...

My old 61 Standard


My crusty old 4x4

I was told about guys from down south driving up to the midwest, buying our old salt rusted buckets for cheap, then filling and smoothing the bodies, spraying that acid junk on the fresh paint to make the appearance of "patina" and reselling them to unsuspecting patrons for much much more. When i bought my 72' it almost looked like someone had attempted to achieve a makeshift "patina" look. The paint had been rattle canned on and rattle can clear was flaking off all over the place. Unfortunately, they used black, so it just looked like a drunk guy painted it with his feet. I also found alot of putty smeared in the door corners at the bottoms.

Here's some I recently came across and that I'm going to put on shoptruckheaven site if I can get the stupid Go Daddy sitebuildr issues solved.

[67_C-30]

Not shop truck or patina trucks, but these are some pretty cool looking rat rod style trucks.

[67_C-30]

You guys are gonna have to forgive me, because I know this its not a 67-72 or even a Chevy/GMC, but I love this old original Maytag Econoline truck!

[hollywood68]

This pic doesnt show the patina the best but trust me its there, and it is my shop truck So hopefully it qualifies

Me too!!! I've played around with the idea of using a Blazer guard on my 67', was told it would fit.

I've got one of these brush gaurds laying around. been thinking about putting it on the parts page but figured shipping would be a deal killer.
