![]() ![]() Hopefully someone here can take my memory and run with it.īy Gary Schreiber- Santa Isabel Ecuador on Saturday, Decem07:10 am: I seem to recall a car that burned up in a fire and the owner perfected a patina technique. There was an article about this in a recent Vintage Ford. There is no possible way to age metal 100+years and have it look authentic. Some really high end restoration shops in the east have shown so called original barn fresh cars at Hershey and they stuck out like a sore thumb. I have seen so called "freshly restored" barn fresh cars and they all look fake. I did with my 1912 touring and problem solved. I have a not so original trick, buy a "real" original barn fresh car. īy brass car guy on Friday, Decem11:17 pm: Also, the engine is just a block, pan and head. I can almost put all my weight on the front cross member before it starts to tip. Jim, Its hard to see, but there is a box just in front of the rear cross member with about 200 lbs of steel in it. Better of using another term such as "an aged look".īy Donnie Brown North Central Arkansas on Friday, Decem10:33 pm: Saying you want "faux patina" is kind of dangerous on this forum. Out in the air for a couple days and they'll rust right up for you ! Just the fumes will rust upīut be sure to keep it sealed when not in use and protect your hands/skin/eyes/lungs from This will remove all plating from bolts and take them back to bare steel. Get yourself a couple gallons of Muriatic acid and place in a clean bucket with a sealing lid. How about just building it as new then running the daylights out of it for a couple years? Earn that wear!īy Burger in Spokane on Friday, Decem10:27 pm: It looks like it is one straw away from smashing your toes.īy Tim Eckensviller on Friday, Decem10:10 pm: I would not worry about patina until you put some support under the front of the frame/engine. īy Jim Thode Chehalis Washington on Friday, Decem10:01 pm: Do not worry, it will get used, and it will weather a lot on its own, Im just wanting to give it a head start. You can also use vinegar, but it takes longer.īy Donnie Brown North Central Arkansas on Friday, Decem09:52 pm: I then set them outside for a couple of days so them would get a coat of rust. To "age" the new nuts and bolts on my pickup body I soaked them in Radio Shack etching acid (used for electrical boards)for a couple of hours. Gustaf Bryngelson on Friday, Decem09:23 pm:īy Howard Tomlinson on Friday, Decem09:30 pm: ![]() I have some old bolts but there are places Ill have to use new ones. Also what do you do with the new galvanized bolts. But I would like to take it a little farther. I did a black paint with a "wipe it all back off with an old" rag for starters. there was so much rebuilding, and welding up of holes, ect. If you look at my frame, would just a linseed oil "wash" be a good choice. It is still early in the build, but I need to start the finish of some of the items. If you are reading this Ron, please go into more detail and show pics Ill post a few pic of my project. I was reading another post where Ron was describing his use of linseed oil as a process he uses. Im looking for any of the "tricks of the trade" in faux patina. But some things will have to have too much done to them to save the patina. Im going to rebuild everything for function and safety, but want to keep all the patina I can. ![]() I have a nice (somewhat nice) original body. I am in the process of building my period correct speedster project.
