1952 Dodge Flathead Truck - Linseed Oiling Patina
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- I applied boiled linseed oil to the patina of a 1952 Vintage Dodge Truck to try and preserve its current rusted/painted rat rod esque state. If you don't care about the oil just enjoy the beautiful truck.
Looks good! Like the way a girl says "boiled"
Vice Grip Garage I dunno. It's greet. I'm going to try this on my 50s Swedish motorcycle. Greetings from a fella subscriber
Hey guy you get back in Minnesota!!
Trust me putting in so much hardwork in that temperature shows how much you love your truck, I'm truely inspired with you dear. Cheers.
Thats cool. I worked in a body shop for 20 years and always liked the old rides I have my grandpas 53 Ford f100 need to get started on it. thanks for the great video.
The older vehicles seem to have more character. Thanks!
I`ve watched this 72 times and will do so again !!! Just so I get the technique right ??? I love fully restored trucks but there is something magical about leaving the honest ware on these vehicles . You can actually see the history !
Linseed oil is great for so many things. It says right on the can I have great for protecting wood handles and metal parts of yard tools so I've been applying it to my shovels, pitchforks etc. The handles are what really need protection from the elements as they tend to check and rot then break. New handles cost more than entire replacements unfortunately. Also works great as a bare wood furniture finish if rubbed out properly.
Top notch. I just picked up a 41 Olds barnfind that has the most insane paint for a 75 year old car. Been searching for ideas with the paint and came across your video. Also gotta love a lady who works on her own cars.
Gotta love a good barn find, you never know what you will discover!
Nice video. Love the truck to bits and your accent is so cute. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this! I am a '46 DeSoto with similar original paint/patina so this quite helpful to see done.
Wow never seen one of those trucks before! Awesome job it looked amazing
I have watched most of your videos. I like them because they are down to earth and no cussing or putting anyone down. Most other you tubers are political and narcissistic. yours are nice. I did not see any recent posts. I noticed that you have a few trolls that say things to disrupt people who enjoy your videos and heckle you. pay no attention to them, there will always be trolls, some will even comment about this post.
keep up the nice videos and hope to see more.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate your positive words. I posted more often when I first started my channel because I was working fewer hours than I am now. You're correct about the trolls..... They don't bother me, sometimes they are funny. Hope you have a great day and thanks for watching. :)
I like your vedio, I've got a 56' dodge , and I rattle canned it in clear coat.
it went from a lite gray to the flat black , and showed it's patina! and it's still flat black!
I Like your accent. And that look awesome
Truck came out good! Really cool old truck! Thinking of doing my 70 c20
While you're at it, think about doing mine too! 🙏🏼
Beautiful truck, nice work under the 💯 degree heat 🤘🏼❗️😎
Awesome truck and great tip 👍
Thanks!
Awesome vid.. Great form, nice body, good lookin truck too.
I just fell in love with my first country girl:) Beautiful job.
Haha, thanks.
" Skip to 7:18 to see finished result"
Nah nah......i'm quite happy to watch thank you... :)
That's a beautiful truck you have, i liked from 02:50 truck started looking even more beautiful. Great job, use some tyre shine on those wheels and the rubber beadings truck will lookeven more awesome, great job in fact very hard work done by you. Cheers
Thanks for the input about the rubber beading, I didn't think of that.
love your ride.and autocorrect
Thanks!
This is why I am moving down south. I have used that metod on 5 trucks that went to Sema I built. Funny but you can use it on tires also I would not go near the tread. I that on non daily drivers. Also on under carriage.
I love this look. Shiny vehicles give me OCD looking for any dull spot to shine.
Nice! Nice tailpipe too!
Nice truck
"It's a good cheap rust protectant..." "After 8 weeks most of the oil had come off." No animals were harmed in the making of this video.
I was laughing at all the stupid comments, until she came out in the red top, wow she is she is something else
Definitely doing this to all of my antique tractors! (Except the one that is fully restored). I'll probably cut it with some mineral spirits. I have heard that the linseed oil can leave a tacky finish, and if you cut it 50/50 with mineral spirits it removes the tackiness. Thanks for the video!
Yes, the linseed oil does have a bit of tackiness. I have switched to using penetrol, I use a paint brush to apply it.
Good to know. Thanks!
how did the penetrol turn out? Any tips?
That’s a great job! Love the look!
cool..and awesum truck
Thanks for the info 👍
What a body......the truck that is 😘
Gorgeous truck!!!
I'm t😍tally looking at the truck right now, seriously!
I put linseed oil on my Jeep fiberglass hardtop after it faded. It looked great for a few months. Think I'll grab a beer and watch again in slow motion.
"Balled linseed all."
we need subtitles
@@NipponNostalgicTV not if your from the south!! :)
@@natevanlandingham1945 hahaha
I love the way BLO smells... I find excuses to use it!
cute girl in cutoffs oiling up an old truck to the sounds of a big truck engine revving. I believe this is the sexiest thing I've seen all day.
:)
girl got great arms
You have the most pleasant country accent.
+Matthew Amason I hate it, but thanks.
Lik3SomethingNew that's a shame
Sweet. Nice truck!
That accent girl❤️
love this pick up
Cool! It looks great!
Look s a lot better after two weeks. When it was shiny I didn't care for the looks.
Great thing to use on rust but dispose of rags, etc. you use to apply the linseed oil later...heard they can combust spontaneously if laying around.
Wadded up they will build up heat, maybe catch fire ( spontaneous combustion ) lay flat on non combustible surface you'll be good
When I use linseed oil on a gun stock I cut it something like 80% mineral spirits (paint thinner) and 20% linseed oil. It bites in harder and dries faster. You can apply multiple coats and actually end up with more material on the product without the sticky goo that linseed oil full strength can become. I don't know how the linseed oil will hold up in the weather. I know on gun stocks it isn't considered a weather resistant finish.
That IS a great patina.
Thanks for the suggestion, I may try it. I have been experimenting with Japan Drier to speed up the drying process.
I strongly suspect linseed oil isn't the long term protector you are looking for. There have been a lot of experiments run on metal protection using different products. Surprisingly one of the best anti rust products out there is plain old WD-40. I wonder if it would do a better job of giving you the "arrested decay" patina protection you are looking for.
I tried WD-40 prior to the linseed oil, but it only lasted for about week.
Probably the WD-40 is still there protecting but it isn't giving you the look you are looking for.
Given you already have the linseed oil, if it was me I'd mix it maybe 70/30 with mineral spirits, spray it on on a warm day, and let it dry. Don't wipe it, just spray and let dry. Keep reapplying until you get the look you are looking for and then add some more. On a warm day you should be able to apply several coats.
Maybe try it on a piece of scrap steel and see what you get.
Thanks for the tips, I can't wait to try this method.
Good info. May have to try
Im having a really fun time watching you wipe down that classic. I think you missed a spot down there. Lol
I have a great running 1973 F100. The finish is right on the edge of needing a repaint. I wonder if this application would help my truck?
Had a chance to buy a 50 dodge like that in N.C.a few years back...now i regret it even more.lol
Ugh, maybe you will get a chance at another one someday. :)
Thanks, hope so... Like Your idea of using Linseed Oil must keep that one in the Memory Banks.
sweet,young likes old hand made American iron kool.
Looks really good. I hope you don't have to drive on any dusty roads.
Nice ride you have.I used "RUSTOL-OWATROL" its a blank sort of coat and stays about 1,5 year then you have to re-do it.greetzz
+Suberten Thanks!
Can we see the b model mack that's in the background?
How long does it last under normal use and leaving it outside ??
The end said 8 weeks
That old truck is wicked! Does it have the old red ram Hemi V8 or a flat head six? Still a stick shift, right?
love it ride
That sure is a solid looking old truck..I painted my suburban with satin black rustoleum and of course I knew it would fade in the Florida sun but it's cheap and easy to repair..I wonder if that oil would freshen up the paint some?
Hey im going do my old chevy truck i just bought ..how often do u have to oil it?
Most gorgeous woman ever!
My God she's beautiful
Now just trim them shorts up a bit and we are golden 👍😁
Beautiful truck by the way. I know this is an old video but figured I would ask anyway. I used this stuff the other day but it washed away with one rainfall a day later. I mixed it with thinner as others suggested, should I not mix it and will it harden like a clear coat after several hours?
i have a barn find like this truck, super rare. if you know anyone who needs a project. all original.thanks.
Once the linseed oil is on are there any ways to completely remove linseed oil?
How you mantain clean the car once is dry some weeks latee
did u used the oil to dressed up the tires?
can you tell me what brand and size are the front and rear tires? thanks! cool truck
So... Been almost 3 years now.. How about those update videos, eh? ;)
Seriously.. How'd it hold up? Issues? How often did you need to reapply? Assuming you parked outside?
How is the Penetrol holding up? I hadn't heard of this until I read your comments. Does it keep a wet looking sheen? Does it attract dirt and dust? Love your truck BTW!
So, you don't clear coat or anything after applying it?
I'm looking to start doing this and was looking for some different options. Thanks for the info...
Nice video, nice girl, nice truck. =)
Their is a much easier way by shooting it with clearcoat. It will preserve the rust and original paint. The best part is you will only have to do it once.
+Frank Alestra I thought about doing that, but when the clear coat starts coming off after several years it doesn't look good. The prep work that would have to be done to get the clear coat to adhere properly would disturb the original patina. I would probably do that to another vehicle, but I think this truck is soo perfect the way it it, I don't want to mess it up. Thanks for watching. :)
+Lik3SomethingNew Sweety that might be how it looked when you got it but that ain't the original paint. I had a bone stock 52 Dodge 5 window, and I can tell you those teardrop l lights on the front fender aren't original and the wholes on the hood fixed center for the hood ornament have been filled and the wholes on the sides of the batwing hood for trim pieces have been filled! really love that body style,regret to this day having sold mine.
Thanks for the video, love the truck. Looking for front/top fender markers (turn signals?) like you have on this truck. Doesn't appear that they were stock with your truck. Looking for similar flush setup for my 51 Ford F2 in patina-progress, don't like the school bus style that it came with. Any thoughts as to what year vehicle those lights are from?? Thanks!
They are cab marker lights from a big truck. Older trucks from the 50's to mid 60's have glass lenses that are super cool if you can find them.
How long does it last? How about if it gets wet? thanks.
Next, you'll be giving us videos doing the crane kick. Oil on, Oil off, Oil on, Oil off.
Looks brilliant! How will the oil "cope" after you wash the car with water?
I'm working on a 46 fleetmaster does the oil come off when washing ?
It would have to be thoroughly washed several times. The linseed oil is water repellent, similar to petroleum based oil.
Hi ...how did the penetrol work vs the linseed I been watching some vids on both does the penetrol look glossy after or natural ?
I have a 69 f 250 that I am wanting to do this too ....thanks
This is my wife
Update on the truck. It’s been 3 years giiirl
any updated pics or a vid?
or somewhere like it
I love your accent, where are you guys from, what state?
Hi. Nice car. I read that you have switched to a product called penetrol. What exactly is that? Does it work well and lasts for a long time? I'll also do my car as you do.
was one of those cans enough for the entire truck? trying to find out how much I should buy for my sedan
Yes, I have used the same can on the truck 3 times and have used it on several others.
How long does it last? How often do you have to apply it?
What a beauty! I'm from London and we get allot of rain here. What should I do if there is surface rust mixed in? yours looks pretty rust free.
+Matt Young I used scotch brite scouring pads that are made for cleaning pots and pans on the truck. I used it to smooth and remove some of the surface rust. I didn't go down into the metal, I removed just enough so that when I rubbed oil on the truck, fibers wouldn't come off and stick. My husband has many trucks and projects and I have seen a lot of them rust away fast. I fell in love with the look of this truck and have just been doing my own experiments to try and save it, I'm definitely no expert or anything. :)
+Lik3SomethingNew love the tips, thankyou so much. I think I'll give it a try and see how long it holds up in my climate.
+Matt Young You're welcome! Let me know how it works out or if you find something that works better.
yes will do! :)
Where are you from? Love your accent!
I had one like her one. time guy at the bank took it from me she was hotter then a $2 pistol she was the fastest thing around.
Just do the right thing and paint it
they're from God's country down south amen
can you paint over the linseed oil
It's been well over a year. How did it hold up? Any reasons not to do this? Sure would appreciate knowing.
I switched to a product called penetrol, it lasts about 5 times longer than the linseed oil and goes on faster. The linseed oil did fine, but the penetrol works better.
Thanks...... I tried a small area with linseed oil on a tailgate and fender area as a test. While it looked fantastic when first applied it appears to be losing it's darkness as it dries and it's only been 3 days. I have some penetrol. Think I'll try it.
Thanks for the tip on penetrol.
Did you sand the truck before you put the oil on it.
I used scotch brite scouring pads that are made for cleaning pots and pans on the truck. I used it to smooth and remove some of the surface rust. I didn't go down into the metal, I removed just enough so that when I rubbed oil on the truck, fibers wouldn't come off and stick.
Thank for the tip, I have a 52 Olds that i will be doing in the spring
You are my dream girl.
Owel = Oil
How much to come oil my truck? I'll pay double
your accent is hot
dude
Spray on. Wipe off.
I'd love to coat her...and protect her
