Boy...This was a job. The nickname given to this truck by its owner, its Big Red. you will see why in a minute. The owner requested some special work be done on this detail, including a full undercarriage repaint with a corrosion inhibitor and a rust-resistant paint.

Before:






^claybar...thats nasty...




^CC failure on the hood. I wetsanded the hood later in the process.








^part of the prepwork, preparing to grind the hinges to bare metal with a wire brush grinder wheel, and repaint them with corrosion resistant black spray paint.


^heavy swirls.

More to come.

^After wetsanding the hood.


^After chassis restoration, prepped for polish/glaze/wax/sealant.


^put the polish on, and it started to sprinkle outside, so I pulled it in the garage...


^It BARELY fits. There was 1/4 inch clearance between the roof rack on the truck and the upper frame of the garage door.
