rusted 50 chevy pick up

[unky]

Rusted 50 chevy pick up with custom wheels, performance parts on engine and a finished interior (the guy spend all the money and nothing left for paint?) It´s the custom model and do not include bumpers. If any one has a spare set, please contact me.

At a recent gathering it was votes one of the top 15 cars from a total of 81 cars. Thanks for looking.

Nice weathering work! It reminds me of a 48? Chevy on Spike TV's "Trucks" that they modified with modern suspension and such, but gave it a weathered "Fauxtina" paintjob. The did it with fresh paint, but it looked like it was sitting in a field for 30 years.

Look`s cool!

[RodneyBad]

Looks good with out the bumpers.

Nice weathering.

Maybe he should take up a collection for a paint job?

Great work..

[Railfreak78]

Great job and congrats on the win! The color almost forces texture and looks very good! The restore process with fresh chrome always makes people ask questions. I bet you loved building this one

[brett]

NNNNNNNNNNNNnnooooooooo you said car in a post about a truck, sorry I'm a GM truck loyalist, but on another note it very cool looking.

Sweet!!!!! Love the rust!!!

Thanks for your comments. From the begining the idea of a bumperless front end came to my mind. For the rear I will be installing a wood bumper, something like a farm truck.

The weathering was done using the salt method but when I took the salt off it was too early and the paint went out in big pieces. Then I used the sponge method. Took the sponge and with little paint in it give gentle taps over the whole area specialy in the exposed primer ones. All the body paint is acrylic craft paint.

Yes, the wheels are Pegasus Holly´s.

Sorry for diggin' this one out, but the Weathering is' simply amazing, and rdicolously real. Therfore I couldn't left this one without a comment.

[KENNEDYJR]

Bang up job on the weathering ,the texture looks spot on. I tried the salt method on a build a s well,it takes a light touch to make it work. Your truck looks great.

I too think it's AWESOME. The rusting looks right on. One of the best rusted vehicles that I've seen anywhere. Great job. Two thumbs up. Dan
