    The patina on that car is kind of next level.

    Some pretty in depth surgery happening. New front floors, new inner and outer rockers, new lower rear quarter, and a few braces underneath.

    The rockers didnt look bad - thats because they were covered with fiberglass once upon a time. The metal had literally eroded away leaving just the fiber glass shell. Pretty crazy.

    Anyways, the other side will get the same treatment. Still undecide on what to do with the patina/paint after the metal work.

    After I get the new metal in it, I really don't know what to do with it. Surface rust the new metal and matte clear it? Leave it shiny and matte clear it? Try to paint the new metal and faux patina it?

    I could also prep the entire car and paint it, but I really don't want to. Kind of tells a story, but IDK. I also keep repeating myself on this subject. LOL
