That 'barn patina' look is getting out of hand in this group
Everyone seems obsessed with keeping rust and dust on these finds, but I restored a 1971 Datsun 510 last year from a shed outside Fresno and stripped every panel down to bare metal. The difference in handling and safety was night and day, and I think we're romanticizing decay over actual function. Anyone else feel like patina is just an excuse to skip the hard bodywork?

Patina is just honest history, stripping that 510 erased the story it earned.
