Re: Project "Old Yeller"

I finally found some free time this weekend and decided it was time to start cleaning up Old Yeller. First order of business was wash and a couple coats of wax. (Meguiars cleaner wax followed by Nu-Finish)

Before....As you can see the truck kind of had a pale yellow appearance. I honestly though that was the color one of the previous owners chose?





Upon closer inspection the truck might have never been waxed in its entire life. Its been washed enough to stay in decent shape (this is a 10' paint job and will last me a couple years before a full tear down)

Wife decided to help.....Must have been the begging and ultra strong margaritas...lol



Here she is with the first 2 coats out in the sun.....She is much brighter than I expected and almost a corvette yellow.(sorry for the size)









the motor semi cleaned.... started cleaning some of the wires and will zip tie or wire loom/hide it all for a clean appearance.
