JBNeal Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) truck picture B-1-D-126: file this under "this is why we can't have nice things", while hauling water with my dog riding in the back, the neighbors' dogs from over the hill would wander through the pasture to say 'howdy' and would get a little rambunctious Edited April 30, 2021 by JBNeal revised information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pflaming Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 One more justification for Original Patina. Every claw mark is essentially a 'stretch mark' on the old girl. ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Original patina needs no justification. However there is NO justification for burnt half sanded old paint with a few layers of clear coat sprayed on that is trying to be passed off as patina. A vehicle with an old hand brushed paint job has more patina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) want to see what lies beneath patina... even with a bit of DA action on the pass side of the nose...the area is still highly pitted and rust embedded within them pits..I have no idea who would like to have this lying beneath any paint surface.. guess what I will be sandblasting next...

Plymouthy Adams Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Lets see a bit more patina before and after.... the trunk lid with just an acid wash this patina is rust bleeding throught he paint...acid removes the rust and will some other forms of vigorous washing..but guess what..the pits are still there in the metal below the surface as is momma rust.. there is no such thing as patina with ferrous metal Edited September 14, 2014 by Plymouthy Adams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your recipe, will no doubt get a majority taken care of before primer. Your Rusty metal primer does a really good job of sealing the prepped sheet metal too, and once fully cure,can handle a lot of materials over it. Do you prefer to use fillers over bare metal, or fillers over rusty metal primer? I find if base is well prepped, the coating on 2 sides of the panel, will seal out 2 enemies, H20 and oxygen......

Plymouthy Adams Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 the real war is rust...what you do or chose not to do rests on the individual..I'm not throwing ammunition Don..just the effects if you don't prep....I really could care less what others here do with their time or their car...I just know what I am going to do is all..just sharing a few photos and an opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Strieb Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Back on topic, pics of my '38 towed home with my dads '48 taken in 1983, and the '38 with my '53 taken in 1984 and again in 1986. The '48 and '53 now have new owners, the '38 has gone through lots of changes, current pic in an earlier post in this thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Strieb Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) .Keeping this thread on topic here's a history of my once owned '53 pilot house, nicknamed SAMSON by an ex girlfriend. Bought in 1977 for $200.00 On vacation from Washington down the Oregon / California coast 1978. Brush painted with Derusto Outside my dive apt. 1982 Must have hauled about 100 cords of wood over 13 yrs. New wheels, tires and sideboards about 1984 Load of Giant Puppets, used to do the Seafair parades in Seattle and surrounding areas around 1984 to 87 The workhorse of an automotive steam cleaning business I ran for awhile The bed fell apart so I made a flatbed. One of the many trips into the cascades around Snoqualmie Pass on I 90 I sold SAMSON in 1994 for $100.00 minus the engine, which went into my 1940 Plymouth P10. It was a good truck, but I didn't have room at my newly bought house. Wish I still had it.

David Strieb Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Watched episode 11 of the Roy Rodgers show earlier today, filmed in 1952. Was about some cattle rustlers trying to sell stolen meat to Dale's café. The rustlers used a series WC dodge pickup to rustle the cattle, and a series LC commercial panel to deliver the meat to the café. Great shots of these old dodges in action!!! I remember another episode that used a series LC westchester suburban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geekay Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Hey David, where did you find this film? Evenas an aussie I loved watching Roy Rodgers as a kid on TV. This would have been in the early 60's as we always received shows years after they were launched in the states...still the case is some aspects. I assume you didn't hire it from your local corner video store! I would love to watch it. Is it on the internet some where????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Strieb Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I have DISH satellite TV, was on channel 082-00 FETV here in Washington, pretty much a retro channel with infomercials mixed in. Never watched TV with the internet and don't know if it comes on dvd. If I find out anything else, I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you didn't hire it from your local corner video store! I would love to watch it. Is it on the internet some where????? I haven't checked for Roy Rogers TV episodes, but a bunch of episodes of various TV shows of that era are on YouTube: Sergeant Preston of the Royal Canadian Mounties (and his wonder dog Yukon King), Sky King, Lone Ranger, etc. And game shows like What's My Line too. The kiddie serials are far worse than I remember (now I know why my parents hated them) but some parts of the game shows are still very funny.

NiftyFifty Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 No D boys, its Roy Rogers and I only knew that because I have a vintage kids cap gun for sale on the bay right now. I did 1 see through coat of etch primer today and 3 coats of U-Pol filler primer over bare metal that was finished with a 60 grit orbit sander....It worked fantastic! Not even a little sign of the filler I used 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
