    You can mix up your own....boiled linseed oil, mineral spirits and a splash of WD-40. Shaken, not stirred...

    Just don't light up while your doing it

    Carpet, tires, exhaust, and package tray (thanks Brett) are being obtained this week. May use a sheet (or something) to cover that upper back seat top..

    Add a grandma blanket to top of back seat (era correct). Affix it so it doesn't slid off. Will give it some character and cover the weather spot. Ahh a wool stadium blanket would be better.

    I would be sooooo tempted to clear coat that patina, you can’t buy that kinda authentic aging anywhere.

    Then it’s not AUTHENTIC is it? Any idiot can sand paint , make it rusty and clear coat, but only God can make the real thing. Go to the back of the class CJP…..lol, Bustin yo balls alittle.
