It’s different.
“I built this bar about 8 months ago out of an unrestorable 50s Jeep Willys Wagon. Thought that it would be a great center piece for the man cave I was going to build. It has working Edison Light Bulbs. My wife informed me after building it that my young children would not be allowed near it because it has rust on it. Oh well. It is up for sell. $1000 boo.”

Another ‘my wife is making me sell it’ ad…..
That’s fine keep ’em coming. That’s how I ended up with my 64 cj3b. One day it will come back around full circle.
Just clearcoat it like is done with rat rods to seal the rust.
Worried about the rust? What about the booze? My mom was glad I got addicted to rust, the booze came much later. Still more addicted to rust, but the booze makes me come up with great ideas on what to do with the rusty stuff I bring home.
