Workhorse Ranger saved by a daughter's generosity

[gofast908z]

This belongs to the father of a friend of mine. For his birthday she wanted to have me do a light correction detail on his workhorse... this old ford ranger. Its always carrying tools, never gets washed, definitely a beast of burden! It was a pretty straightforward correction. M205 on the PCXP with LC orange then sealed with Zaino Z5pro. This was just a 1 step, so there's RIDS and some swirls left, but still cleaned up nice. The wheels were nearly permanently stained and only cleaned up a little. Polished the chrome bumpers too.

I was there to deliver it to him on his birthday and he was totally speechless and gave me a big hug. Probably one of the most appreciative customers I've ever had. This guy works so hard for his family and NEVER asks for anything in the 5 years I've known him. He was truly taken aback. It may be a modest detail, but it was one I will treasure for a long time.

50/50 shot!

Finished pics were taken by the daughter the following day since I finished late at night.

Thanks for lookin!

Great job! It's also nice to see the story behind it - Appreciative father, loving daughter. I did my in law's red Ranger for a Christmas present years ago, we spent the day together while I did it, and made them supper. It was a great day, appreciated by all parties.
