So I know another contributor was looking to have a junker on the side of the road, or maybe in a field. So that gave me an idea to try something different. I don’t know if I’m going to leave it this way, or go ahead and strip and restore it. I bought a Corgi Ford Consul, and of course it was all beat up.. so instead of stripping I painted rust on all the chips to really make it a beater. Let me know what you think, leave it as is, or go ahead and fix it up now. Tom, this one is for you!    Before and after.....66F68506-6615-4B44-87D3-2BB18E3BD4C621902D88-96B1-4A4E-B778-70788F4E76B564C959B4-9988-4685-B0C1-A5AEF792AB10DB4F5CCA-0BF9-4559-AB0F-84DA050DC1378AB25494-0954-47C2-8D0B-B1106B82CF17

That's a tough decision to make. I really like the looks of the rust'.. It would be perfect for Tom's requirements.  Only problem is the cost of that Corgi begs for a restore'.. Perhaps another specimen would be appropriate for a rust out'... There are many rusted cars... But none are Corgi's or Dinky's... That I've seen.  1949 Ford's  Seafoam Green, coming up.  If I can ever get outside to use the stripper, and spray paints'... (rain) & rain...

Beaten and rusted and touched up 55 Chevy, first Car for this youngster'....😀
