A late 1930 Model A Pickup, and the story of... 'The Re-Blackening'.

It was converted years ago to a car stainless steel radiator shell, stainless headlight buckets, and stainless cowl band. Now its back onto the path it left so long ago...the path of an original and correct truck (as much as can be done anyway).

First photo: Still with stainless parts.
Second photo: Tear down for the 'change over'.
Third photo: Shows the shell and headlight with the 'new' faux patina.

Please enjoy this trailer preview. The main feature is coming soon.

Your truck has really nice patina. If you paint the replacement parts a matt black, you could drive it as is.

I would leave it as is.
