1954 Ford F-100 - Modeled by Janna

To learn how we removed the swirls and restored a show car finish to this truck check out this article...

1954 Ford F-100 - Extreme Makeover - Process and products used


Before - The paint was filled with rotary buffers swirls as well as random scratches and was in dire need of claying.

Janna's one of our Swirl Girls and she came by to help with the final wipe and then to inspect for swirls...

The truck has stainless steel inner side panels that work like a mirror with a beautiful oak wood bed and everything is polished to a high gloss so... no shoes on inside the truck bed!

MELTING BUTTER

I hope everyone will help me in thanking Glen for bringing his truck to Autogeek's Garage and also help me in thanking Janna for stopping by to model Glen's truck.

Because we don't finish till late it's just really nice that after a long day at her regular job that she will take the time to come by for some pictures.

So please join me in saying thank you and please lets keep all our comments positive...


Thank you!

I was wondering the same thing Robert:buffing:To me it looks like Mike left out some pictures ??But I agree the pictures are awesome and the truck came out great . Plus we had a good time doing it LOL can't wait until the next one but rumor has it Mike may not let us play together anymore and if he does and were bad one of us may have to stand in the corner for some time out rops:
