Well, after being Broncoless for way to long I picked up a 1974. It's original paint and interior, V8/C4.
The plan is to restore the interior, clean it up, and drive it. :D I like the patina

You thought you had beat the addiction, but you fell off the wagon. Can't hold that against anyone. Enjoy!

I agree the patina looks neat. I bet if you buffed it out it would look even better.

Thanks for the kind Welcome's and I'll never feel bad about falling off the wagon. It's nice to be back with my kind.

I have to admit, after looking at it for a few days I'm thinking about redoing the grill to remove the surface rust. I'd like to try repainting it with the "aged" look.
And tips on how to do this? (I'll likely ask under a new thread) after I search the topic. :)

I saw a show where they painted a early 50's Chevy truck red oxide primer, then brown, then the color they wanted. Then they sanded it in the places to look worn down to the brownish color and then clear coated it to lock in that look. Came out awesome in my opinion.
