Thanks,I used rust paint but I mixed flat black to darken it.I used an old exacto blade to shave brown and black pastel chalk into a small cup and mixed them together untill I had the color I liked.I pored the chalk over the wet paint and tapped the exess off.I did this over a piece of paper so I could save the chalk...I painted the hood and body flat red and flat white.I lightly buffed the hood with carnauba wax.Now I need to do the same to the body then work on the rust.

Some more parts...I still need to weather the engine.
