Why a 50-50 mix, not straight? Looks good though. What are your plans for it now?

I think 95% of what guys call "patina" is just decades of neglect, rust & rot. REAL patina is a decades-old car/truck that has been washed, waxed and polished til maybe it's gone through to the primer and maybe even bare metal in places but you can tell the car's been cared for.
