    93` F-150

    well i went over to a local farmers house to work on his wifes Expedition (full detail) and as i was out there i noticed he had a F-150 setting in his yard for sale so i mentioned cleaning it up for him so he agreed and away i went the paint was very dull w/ some oxidation
    Process:
    Advantages Very Cherry car wash
    Hi-Temp`s Smooth Cut w/ orange pad and my new UDM, and XMT-180(grape)
    Before:




    fender after smooth cut



    all done


    he was so pleased he pulled the for sale sign off of it and is keeping it(i did the engine and interior also but didnt get to many quality pics

    He probably took the sign out of the truck to raise the price.

    Excellent work...its fun to do something that looks old and tired and make it new again...great restoration.

    I absolutely agree! Anyone can take a brand new car and wash it and say "it doesn`t need much more". Taking something like this and doing what you did to it is the absolute best! Good job my friend.

    Looks good, did you ever get those mudding pictures up or those pictures that you said you were going to post up, I forgot which ones they were. Had something to do with jeeps or offroading though!
