Tech Session Demo Car
On Thursday August 14th we will be doing an extreme makeover to the custom paint job on my friend Blair's 1965 Chevy C10 Fleetside Pickup Truck.
I met Blair at the 3rd Autogeek's Cars & Coffee and with his permission used his truck for my Tech Session which we hold at all our Cars & Coffee shows.
Here you can see Blair's truck as it was on display at Autogeek's Cars & Coffee, which is held the 2nd Saturday of every month from 8:00am to 10:00am.
Background
Blair says the custom paint job is over 10 year's old and was painted by a guy out in California.
The reason I chose his truck for my demonstration was because while this is a very nice streetrod the paint is in dire need of some compounding and polishing to restore a show car finish worthy of this truck.
Here are some pictures taken from the Tech Session at Cars & Coffee showing the before and after difference in what I call a Test Spot.
Here I'm placing a strip of painter's tape across the hood to mark off where I'm going to do my Test Spot.
In this shot I've machine polished the test area twice and now I'm wiping off the residue from the second polish so everyone can inspect the results.
There were around 50-60 people watching this live demonstration.
Here's BEFORE
These shots show AFTER
A couple of shots showing the before and after using the overhead florescent lights....
So as you can see there's lots of room for improvement on this cool 1965 Chevy streetrod pickup truck.
