Ask me about my El-Camino. Seriously

That's not patina, that's rot.

 

I heard that on a TV show a few weeks ago.

 

If you're gonna do it, do it right. AFAIC, this whole "Patina" shit is just so people can justify not doing or paying for paint and body. It looks like shit currently.

 

Name it

El Ridgeline.

My guess is a '48-'53 GMC. Probably 1T or better.

I saw a 59 El Camino for sale on Facebook a couple days ago, mostly redone with a newer Chevy v8, but can’t find it now when I went and looked for you.

I always liked 59 Chevy’s the best, even more than the 55-57’s.

 

"patina" = hipster

 

I thought this one's name was Probable Cause.

 

Okay, I was seriously beginning to wonder if it was just my own bias against old junk. I swear I was like "is no one else here looking at the same picture I'm looking at?"

 

Agree

 

I will admit that I have seen a few that looked kinda cool, but most of the time I think it’s because people don’t want to spend what it costs to PROPERLY repaint a project.

I get it - it’s cubic dollars, but I think most look like what they are, and old car in dire need of a proper paint job.

BUT - to each their own. I like 1G SVs and most give me four kinds of hell because “carbs blow”.

 

Precisely why I said nothing until it was pointed out.

Nah dude, I was right there with you. This whole thread has me confused as fuck. I keep thinking “Ok, what am I missing here…”

 

Always wanted a 59!

I need to finish the 3 project vehicles I have in my shop now lol

No, no, not the same. I can appreciate some old stuff. But it has to have been good when it was new. Your issues are totally different.

 

I have no issues. I am perfect. It’s everyone else that’s fucked up.
