    '79 Barn Find w/ Original Paint Before and After Photos

    All original '79 Bronco that I bought five years ago. Old lady in north GA had it sitting in the barn for 11 years. These are before and after photos after I did a 3 step wet sand, 3 step high speed and then waxed. Came out looking good except for 1 spot. The spot disappeared after the work but after a few days the spot came back looking like I never touched it. I'm still baffled by it but have learned to live with it. Start to finish it took a total of 27 hours. Came out looking close to a showroom shine

    Now that is pretty awesome! I guess you were not so concerned about factory clear since back in the days they gave us plenty to work with

    The only way that would be cooler is if it was a '77 Bronco

    I'm not as familiar with older car paint like this one but I really don't think it ever had clear. I believe it's acrylic lacquer because it's old and I was able to "move" the paint MUCH easier than a modern car

    I love that style as well but the full-size has my heart for some reason. It wasn't easy finding one that is rust free, unmolested and with only 80k clocked on the odometer
