Ed, that's funny.
One of the best things about this site is that we don't have one narrow set of rules that every thing has to fit into. In fact most of what I see here is not what I would do but that is not to say it isn't great stuff. What would I learn from someone who does everything like I do? There just are not enough solid barn finds to go around so if that's what you want you'll probably have to build one. 8)

Heck..I just don't want to get banned from the forum! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Now if you sand all the way through a fiberglass body to make it look rusted out I'm coming after you, and you know how much pull I have around here. ;)

Now that's some funny s..t!!

I can post some pics later of my 1/8 scale patina painted rods, but for a real car, i always felt it should be earned. That said, i hear what your saying about having a nice car, and wanting something diffrent. What about taking it back to bare metal, then throw some lite acid over it, so it speeds up the Feric Oxide process, (rust), or spray lots of patchy diffrent color over it, then cover with matt black, and sand through :)

The crank blown T bucket featured in Amusin Krusin, number three. The Jaguar six powered thirty two is unfinished, and this bodywork has lots more dents, and rust holes, compared to the T. That was more paint and rust. Alot easier to do on a smaller scale.

Nice pictures. I'm in love with Bombshell Betty. She is a screamer at Bonneville. I don't know how thay manage bare metal on the salt. There was a lot more newtina than pootina. ::) ;D
