I get something done every day. Some days it isn't very much but as long as I'm moving in the right direction I will eventually get to the end.

So when does the truck get a 572 ? I could see it silver and red as well as a tow vehicle

[cordodge]

haha, yeah would be nice for sure. but i don't think i will touch the truck im just wondering how i could save the org paint/patina maybe clear it? what do you think alan as i know your a guy with alot of knowledge at body work.the truck is increadibly original.  thx bruce

[anlauto]

It looks nice in the pictures, but I guess if it looks real dull you could try a good polish or a clear coat and cut/polish....
I've never delt with anything like that.

[cordodge]

yeah im not sure myself ill take it to my paint guy and see what he thinks.  thx anyway alan

I don't think that I would "clear" it. Paint (clear included) is only as good as what's underneath it. "Clearing" over 44 year old paint could create some adverse affects.

In the pics the paint looks pretty darn good for being 44 years old. If you want to preserve the "patina", I would just have someone "clean" the paint up with a good buffing and then have a coat of high quality wax applied at regular intervals to preserve it. Just my

thx tom, yeah maybe i will start and try to bring the paint back as good as i can, it might suprise me and come out nice and then wax it like you said.   thx bruce
