1958 Dodge

I hate to see people rattle can cars exterior. For obvious reasons.
Best route is either do northing and park it in a garage out of the weather, and not a pole barn with limestone gravel floors. Or best, DA it to bare metlal with 80 gri, 2-3 good coats of good epoxy primer, and seal that with urethane primer. Just what I would do.
I agree. I have a friend with a 68 Impala convertible...it looks ratty on the outside and I'm like" dude buy some beer Ill come over with my DA and go down 1 side and you go down the other...well smooth this thing out and coat it with a primer of your choice from Eastwood, it would look a hell of alot better..." he's like " I like it its a rat rod..."I said "that rat rod stuff gets old quick...I get tired of looking at a crappy neglected car after a while..."
