    Removing paint and "polishing" it while maintaining patina?

    Haha if you guys are just hitting it with a hammer, I'm just going to go stand on it. That will do the trick. [emoji23] Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

    Mine already has the braces on it. [emoji849] They just didn't lube the coils/hinge, but rest of maintenance was done. [emoji2369] But will do. I just need motivation. Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

    I'm planning to use big c clamps and some 2x4s on both side and work it slowly back straight. Doesn't have to be perfect but should get it close. Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

    Thanks! I really love it. A lot of little things to do. Tune-up next, temp gauge isn't reading right, and flatten the hood. lol I just picked up the temp wheels, while I sand and paint the oem ones. Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

    Removing paint and "polishing" it while maintaining patina?

    Haha just an app for a phone or tablet. Makes it easier for us to navigate when we're not on a computer. Pretty simple. Well to each their own, but for me, natural patina I love. A well used and worn paintjob can be awesome. Even some rust depending. But I won't do any faux work; not my style...

    Removing paint and "polishing" it while maintaining patina?

    Haha it's all good man, I do know what you mean. And I do agree with you, site/forum maintenance is a lot of work and does cost money. I just have the mindset of providing quality and let people see the worth. Then I'd happily throw $25-50 annually for a contributing community. But when it's my...

    Actually I think I have! Small world. And I appreciate the offer. Time allowing, I'm always done to help as well. Thanks and he's part pit (Stafford mix) and dalmatian actually. Mostly white but a ton of spots under the white fur. Aren't we all [emoji854] Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

    Hello from Portland, OR

    Thanks guys! It actually has some metal plate/supports already welded on; I was wondering what they were before I realized how bad the hood was. (Inspected the truck in the dark) I'm in SW Portland, close to Tigard, so not too far from Salem. I'm always down to help turn a wrench as well...
