Insurance will get set up tomorrow so when I got her home tonight she went straight into the garage so I wasn't tempted to drive it more.

Here's what I got for now...

I'll get some more here in the next few days.

Needs a little 303. ?

Figured I'd group these together. First is the Ranger next to a 110-ton crawler crane at the equipment yard and second is a Taco I found in a garage.

Still researching and waiting to hear from our resident paint and body man @AdamHarris

But I think it's gonna get a good coating of this stuff.

Could be a Mig's hanger bay!!!

That’s what I know but have not found any 100 % sure confirmation for that.

Parked nex to my wifes 4R. Was the only Ranger aka American Taco! ?

Sounds a bit too much like “snaking a drain”. I’m out. ?

cool thing! do you leave it with its hard-earned patina? or is this already copied?

Patina is mostly real, with a bit added for matching and will likely stay. Unless I get real good at body work and real bored. Truck is frame swapped with 350, IFS, PS, PB, it will never have the value to justify a pretty paint job that I didn't do the majority of the work on.

Researching options to seal it up, boiled linseed oil and Flood Penetrol seem to be the top choices now. Clear coating seems like a bad idea.

What about matte finish clear coat?

it doesn't matter what texture you go with. You are putting paint over rust that isn't meant to used to cover rust. it does the bubble and peel in no time and your $$$ and time goes down the?.

@D Fresh personally I'm a fan of Danish oil. but plan to do at least a coat of either kind of oil every year to keep it looking good

Yeah, from everything I'm reading an actual clear coat will eventually yellow, cloud, and or peel.

Danish oil looks like a nice middle point between boiled linseed oil and penetrol. Thanks for the tip.

I'm at the Long Beach Grand Prix and found a parking next to Bronco Raptor.

maybe a paint job that is still keeping the same vibe but stopping more rust etc. lots of flat paints now for auto. i think the flat black is kinda overdone now. a Maco paint job is fine for rat rods.
