my first weathered car. This is a curbside -no motor. Maybe one day I'll get around to it.

Very well done. You got a realistic appearance, and it's not heavy-handed, as these can tend toward. It deserves a rusty/oily/dusty engine!

The 53 looks pretty sharp.  Nice weathering for your first time.

I like it. The weathering is realistic but I was digging the hub caps.

Thanks Gerald. I really like the hub caps too but I couldn't pose the front wheels with them. They were too big and sort of unrealistic

As others have mentioned, this has a very realistic finish on the body. I like how you removed the body side chrome and drilled out the mounting points. The chrome rims and wide whites look great on this.

Great job on your first weathering project. Weathering opens a lot of possibilities for you to exploit , at times ,It can be demanding but it can be really satisfying, as your model demonstrates.

Thanks everyone. As I sanded thru the top coat to reveal the "rust"  I tried to think about where water would pond and how the sun would fade the top coat. This was fun and I'm already thinking of my next weathered project.
