'66 F100 project
« on: June 15, 2020, 08:30:12 PM »
Since it is a project I guess I should post on here. :) Since I have been off I have been working on my '66 F100, fixing things things so it is safely driveable. I also swapped out the old '65 T-bird buckets for a rear seat out of a 2002 F250 crew cab I had and though it doesn't have the same vibe as the old buckets it is more comfortable. Today I gave it a good washing and threw some wax on it. It really needs power polished or some cleaner wax but I have to admit it don't look too bad...if you don't look too close. Just the way I like it!

Alan, if you want to go the power buffer route but don't want to spend a lot of $$$ Harbor Freight has an orbital under the Bauer brand that's pretty good.  There are a series of videos on YouTube by a guy in Dallas who uses one daily in his business.  His business is called Dallas paint correction and auto detailing.  I found his videos very helpful and easy to follow and used his techniques and recommended products when I decided to "wake up" the original paint on my Galaxie.
