Digging the ratrod look

I admit when I drag home a project (sees like often), first thing I do is power wash the rat turds and spiders then go buy a $60 4 x 8 sheet of 18 ga mild steel , some cutoff whens ,a wire cup about 3 inches and operate!!!!! Since I m retired, not long before it is solid again. Need full quarters? let someone else buy it!!!! lol
A gal of epoxy primer and activator from SPI makes 2 gal total,will prime and seal 2-3 cars. Costs $200. A gal of good filler is about $70Some assortd sandpaper, another $1 will do4-5 cars. I get by right now with a $350 compressor from Horrible Freight.
OR cu t ut the rust, weld in new, a little primer, and keep all the patina till I get tired of looking at it!!!!! lol
