    Possible Upcoming Project Truck - Needs Autogeek

    Possible Upcoming Project Truck - Needs Autogeek


    Was at Gweed's Gangsters Car Show last night and saw this truck and stopped and talked to the owner. Complimented him on the truck and then politely told him if he was interested he could bring his truck to Autogeek and myself and a top notch team of guys would help bring the finish quality to a higher level.


    I didn't ask the year and I'm pretty good at guessing the years of classics so I'll guess this is a 1959 or 1960 Ford F100.


    Here's one angle view of this truck,



    Here's the same hood from an angle with the sun shining on the paint...




    Ouch....
    The paint has been scoured with a rotary buffer and some kind of pad and polish... It really looks hazy in person and it's possible it's past the point of no return but I would be willing to do a Test Spot and see what happens...



    I took these far shots when I was standing by the Bod Rod just to capture that it's a Stepside Shorty...








    What do you call a Hearse turned into a Hot Rod?



    I invited him to this Thursday night's Extreme Makeover on Paul's 1965 Plymouth Valiant.


    Sign-up for Autogeek's Thursday Night Open Garage - April 26th, 2012


    Paul's 1965 Plymouth Valiant 100
    This is a recent resto-rod with a new paint job but there are still holograms left from a wool pad on a rotary buffer. This is a great candidate for an "Extreme Makeover". It was originally a straight 6 but now it has a warmed-up 318 made to look like the 273 high performance engine that came in a 1965 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S. This is only the second paint job this car has ever had and there are only 42,000 original miles.






    It's all about...

    Each one, teach one...

    He said he would stop by for tomorrow night's project.

    If he drives his truck we'll do a Test Spot tomorrow night. If the paint is past the point of no return then sometimes all you can do is try.

    If the results from the test spot are good then we can make a plan for his truck for a future date.


    Thanks for the offer to help either way!

    Wow that red paint is screaming for an AutoGeek makeover! I hope he takes you up on the offer.

    If the paint can take it, id say a bit of chopping is in order. i.e. PE14, wool, Über compound.
