Fuck! 8 years later and I’m just now thinking of doing it to mine now that the paint is scraped and scratched here n there. I consider myself artist, so I believe I can achieve it without totally sanding off the current paint. (Hopefully). Looks so cool and I can really spend more on upgrading other hard parts.
Thank you so much im thinking on buying a 1952 chevy pickup but wanted it with patina and couldnt find someone that did the paint right and found you thanks love the work.
That looks like hammered shit! 💩 I guess thats what you do when youre not a very good painter. Dont even try anymore and then tell everyone that you intended for it to look that way. Patina isn’t even a real word. There is no such thing.
I always see people do frame alterations like this and it obviously works for the limited use many of these vehicle see, but as I was taught in school for Welding and Fabrication, when making a repair on a frame rail, be it on a vehicle or trailer, you should always weld a diamond shaped patch over the top of the splice to strengthen the frame lengthwise. Without that, the weld is far more likely to crack.
