Well done making it authentic, waco.
I tell ya what, I have a deal for you. No need to replicate. We have a number of genuine articles when it comes to rusty buckets. Load up some cast, rifles, & gear. You can move into Brads' for a bit. When he's not working we can head to the range. When he is, I have enough real rust & other fixes to keep you busy.
On the short list would be getting the big block burban done. Need to tack weld & lead some lower quarters on, no bondo or plastic filler allowed. It'll be late summer or after by myself. One trailer needs some rust stoppage/prevention help. Mom's lesabre throwing knock sensor code. Radiator support fitting on the outback. Pickup needs a plow mount & heavy bumper fabricated. Having a real time tuning the 72bug carb. New steering cable & put outboard back on lund. Then a quick partial rocker replacement on the express 2500. That should keep you busy a minute...
Had a ceiling fan loose a blade today. It wasn't even running, the blade just dropped off.
As a kid I did just about every Nascar model I could get. I was very proud of the Bill Elliot Coors car. Airbrushed it with auto paint. Being an adventurous kid, smashed them all together at some point.
