Check out the March 08 STREET ROD builder.

They weathered a brand-new glass 34 Ford 3 window, they did a good job on the sign but I think they went overboard on the rust.
 
How FAKE others THINK it is...its WHAT YOU want..!! So dont listen to all of the other **** other people who dont like it...DO WHAT YOU want.Remember..if they dont like it..they dont have to look at it...:D:D

THATS WHAT I DIG ABOUT RATRODS.
as long as it's safe
THERE IS NO WRONG WAY TO DO IT!
knock yerselves out fellas!

i see rods i think are ugly all the time
but i sure as hell am not going to berate a man for having his own ideas about coolness.;)
 
I know this tread is a little old but just wanted to share a few ways I've done it in the past to maybe help some one in the future. I did a set of rims once painted them flat black let em dry for a week in the sun than hit em with ih tractor paint on a brush than wiped with a wet rag when still wet. #2 my ih pickup I masked off the intire door cut out my lettering used a wide artist brush and one shot once it set up I used a rag and mineral spirit and wiped it to the worn look I wanted than removed the masking tape #3 my 54 ford I masked of and cut out and used rustolium flat white removed masking and hit with oo steel wool. These are just a few tricks I've tried that have worked well. Sorry so long[ddd
