Hi Guys - thanks for the interest!!
Long story, but in short, my wife has always wanted an pre-40's truck and a friend was selling this 39' Ford, so we bought it and I started down doing it in parallel with the Camaro. That, of course, wasn't a recipe for success and given that the original plan was to leave the body on the '39 completely alone, I planned on a 4-5 month project if I fully concentrated on it. So , put the Camaro in the garage and focused fully on the truck. Of course the project morphed, but should be done in the next 2 months. Patina Paint job is 90% done, cab is off to the interior guy this week and 90% of the truck has already been test fit.

Back to the Camaro in November and going to hit it hard.

I have been working with an artist on the artwork for the Camaro Project Name, should have that soon. Otherwise, it's collecting a bit of dust for a couple more months.







Here is the homemade patina paint job we are doing. Cavalry Blue with colored acids for the patina, with matte clear on top. Yep, I know, I've put clear on top of "rust/oxidation" which will clearly fail someday, maybe soon. We knew it would a science project but Lisa really likes the patina look, she just couldn't love the original green. So after a fair bit of metal work (rust repair, we left some of the dents to , we sandblasted the entire truck, masked off some strategic areas, epoxied the areas that would be blue, sprayed the blue, feathered the edges with a DA, used acids for the patina, then cleared it.
