1949 Ford coupe rust bucket

[HDDan]

This is my first attempt at doing a weathered look. I kinda screwed up on the chipping so I tried something different and I think that it came out pretty good. I was thinking about putting dents and some cancer but I might do a restoration on it some day.

You've got a pretty good "patina" look going here. Your first time trying it? I'd say you're off to a flying start! 

[HDDan]

Yes it is my first time. I ended up putting the flat clear on instead of the chipping compound."oops" I put some thinner in my air brush and sprayed the teal enamel off to reveal the rust

Nice work Daniel. It looks like the pickers have already been there scrounging some parts from it. Thanks for sharing.

[HDDan]

I wanted to save as many parts from it as possible so I built the blown caddy motor and put it on the stand

[unclescott58]

It looks terrible. Which in this case good. I like it. 

[bbowser]

Very convincing, hard to believe its your first attempt.  Well done.

[Chuck Most]

Not too shabby for a first attempt. Well... I guess shabby is the point when you're weathering. You know what I mean.  

[HDDan]

Thanks! I really appreciate the compliments. Especially on my first attempt at weathering. This is the third model I've ever done and now I'm hooked.

[Slotto]

This is very convincing. Nice job. Now, bring it back to life.

[HDDan]

Challenge accepted Slotto. I have a 32coupe , Shelby S1 and a Chevy Cruze to finish first. And possibly a 72 vet that's going to be a 1:1 replica of a friend's car.

I think I will do it 100% show room new 

[HDDan]

Now just need to pick a color

I like the rusty water stain on the rear tire.

"It won't start, Ethel."

"Look under the hood, Vern."
