That must have taken a Tanker full of Evapo-Rust Fluid?

Happy to see this thread going again. It's one of my favorite, and definitely one of the most unique threads that I follow.

Several gallons of evapo have been used & reused.  And thanks for the compliments.  Being the “most unique” thread is normally not the most popular which was not my goal but I appreciate the comments.

How about we just call it the Most Impressive thread? I am amazed at the before and after pictures. It's hard to believe the lettering and detail that shows up undisturbed from your method. I wish I had your patience.

I still wouldnt go that far but thank you.  I should clarify.  That is not an original fuel hose.  It’s my attempt of a “repo”.

The rear view is awesome. I like the traction bars "white" matching the stripes. Looks like you need new tires though....look a little bald(lol).  Now that you are on all 4 wheels... Are you going to push it outside for more pictures of the car..
