YOWZA that sucker is swirled!!! :eek:



The owner has left the truck in good hands though...I know you will have that black paint looking "mile deep" when your done Paul!

PS - Lift the hood and take a look at the "huffer" (supercharger for the uninitiated)! And if you are allowed to, find a striaght stretch of DRY pavement, ease into the throttle, taking maybe 2-3 seconds to go from idle to on the floor and hang on for the 1-2 shift and tire chirp and if modded the 2-3 chirp. Keep it floored until you hit 70 and just revel in that whine from under the hood. You will be hooked for life!

Gonzo that is the first year of the Harley truck (its an extended cab...not a crew cab) and as such should have a naturally aspirated 5.4L in it. They didn't get the boosted motors until Ford started builidng the F150 Harley off Super Crew frames.
 
Gonzo, what a job this is turning out to be ! It is swirled more than the original pic even shows ...it is swirled EVERYWHERE! I will post a pic hang on ....

:scared:



I have spent (ed) 8 hours today on it, and 'de-swirled' one side and the hood. Tomorrow I will get the remaining swirls (Using IP and Orange pad, white was not doing it) and FP then AIO then Glanz. I cleaned the wheels and other chrome bits, and they look awesome (2 hours work right there!) ... I don't know how you guys get more than one of these vehicles done in a day, I will be lucky to have this done tomorrow. :)



Its great though :)
 
Sure looks like you will be earning your pay on that one..... Good luck! Post lots of "afters" and their "befores" if you have them.



Some of those look a little "deep". Have you been able to remove them? Or just settle for a reduction in visibility?
