It looks awesome, I wish I had a crack at that beauty with my powerwasher!!

Patina = time. Anyone can have something painted, but adding character takes time, and time is expensive.
Thank you....some people get it. Patina is hot right now. I'm not saying that because of my current build. I have a friend with 30+ patina cars and trucks. He has the means and he is buying up any cool patina he can find if it has the right look. He has been giving me an idea what this stuff it going for. He buys from all over the country so he has a good idea of going rates.
