I like it, if you removed the monstrosity off the engine and changed out that front cattle guard (didn't they put those on trains?) thingy before painting it then it would come out slick. I like the color of the engine block, would be cool with a black and matching green paint scheme.

How did he get the rust, was that natural after removing the primer and letting it stay exposed or did he use something to accelerate the process? You hear all the time about patinas and "antiqued" finishes but rarely how they are actually achieved. thanks.
