Thanks, dude.
To me, you can see a life in that car...It looks like it lived through the fifties as a rod then got rolled into a garage, already painted with flames...Then, 50 years later, someone found it, rolled it back out, sorted the suspension, stoppers, rims, tyres, engine and a couple of bits of brightwork and hit the street/strip.
That car has a history you can see and feel; nut and bolt restorations never will.

Ankhor wax - it leaves the car feeling 'sticky' ( :/ ) but it stops any progression of rust - the aircooled dub boys in the UK use it to preserve patina and halt any further rust and it works.
That...With a completely solid tubeframe chassis/integral rollcage...Radiator propped up at the front on brace bars and a big block V8 on open headers and quad carbs, big steels (in matte black) with high-profile whitewalls and plenty of rake...
Win.

And dont you dare give in to this rabble and stop posting these fantastic threads!
There's a guy on Retro Rides with a 2-door Nova saloon running a 2.0 8v lump.
It's sprayed matte black and has moon discs with whitewall flaps, a bench front seat with a mexican blanket on it and, in graff-style writing on the trailing edge of the boot "****ALLTHEHATERS!"
Awesome attitude.
