woke up this morning to the runs again. it must be the shape of the trunk.

quick roller of mineral spirits and it was smoothed out again. left it at that....no new coat of linseed. i'm going to let this one just dry hard and if this clear coating works it'll shine with that.

i put the shop fan on it to dry it faster and its going to be 108 today in texas supposidly.

crazy how its fine and then 8 hours later its back to that weird running pattern. gotta be the trunk shape.

51...that is the goal with mine. preserved on the outside. interior prestine. engine tiptop. frame tiptop etc etc. drive anywhere and look awesome doing it.

everyone is trying to recreate this old paint patinas on the hotrods. the guy i saw yesterday at the shop said they just finished making a show car look like it came from a field. he said to have it be real, like it is on my car, is even more impressive despite all the work they put on the hotrod.

i think one day...there will probably be a class just for preserved paint.
