The car has some very good patina IMO

So match the fame I say. I call it Salt-Tina.

Add salt to raw steel and spray bottle it down. In a day or two I will match the car

Got the car all done and spend 2 weekends ago trying to get it fired up and running and driving. Motor did everything it was supposed to to start. Spend Friday through Sunday doing everything I could. Only to find out I had virtually no compresion in all 4 cylinder. So taking the time to rebuild the top end. Sucks. So close to driving.

Nice...
I've been thinking about doing a patina-rod with this 58...the way your oval is turning out just nudged me a little more.
Cool build!
