None, yes, try these providers. I feel like I'm seeing a little bit of color on my side, but it's going to take a lot, a lot, a lot of scrubbing, well this comes off easy, right? a red or maybe even orange I would never have thought of green, well you can tell by the grill, a bit of everything has been painted there, yes there are some places where you probably won't be able to get up, no, some of that is just It will remain, they are Surfers. For us, yeah, keep scrubbing, we'll get there, thanks, so we've been scrubbing quite a bit on this old

truck

It was the worst side of having the logos there, so I have to be very careful on this side. I'm just going to use a super clean degreaser and hope

full

y a sponge, and try to be as careful as possible to save these old ones. logos here just because it tells a little bit of the story about the

truck

, a little bit of the history of the truck and I hate to lose that but we won't know until we start looking at it so I'm just going to press that with a little bit of degreaser and then we'll keep going around in the truck scrubbing until we get the look we like, we'll come back after that with some deep linseed oil that will really create these colors. pop, thanks foreigner, so there won't be much left here that we can save, but at least you can see where it says truck repair and then the city it was located in, so we took a lot. from previous photos of the other side, if a person wanted to recreate them, we could definitely repaint them there, but again, I'm not exactly sure what the owner wants to do, I'm very happy for all that to stay there, we'll keep giving turns. the truck and see how it looks

y finished thank you so we cleaned this truck all over.

The cabin was cleaned very well compared to the old box. I'm surprised how much of this original green color showed up. underneath that surface is

rust

so the CLR worked pretty well to clean it now where this heavy

rust

is on the flat panels like the top of the hood roof which didn't clean as well but looks really cool. Look at it, I love these old door logos here, in fact, you can see this one really well now, so it's outlined and just mother nature's paint job here just outlining that natural patina on the inside. I pressure washed it as best we could.
The paint came off the dash and the door jamb areas had to clean that seat up a bit like I said on the box, obviously this truck had been painting it at some point in a whitish orange or red color. maybe a couple different paint jobs to make the bed look a little different than the cabin. The back deck here is as good as it can be. It has a little rust here on the front edge and it took a good job as well. uh something with a lot of weight that was probably placed here and was on top of that box and also in the cabin, so uh.
The wheels were cleaned. The pretty nice wheels look new even though they are who knows how old, so I guess Next thing we're going to do is try to clean this truck with some heavy duty linseed oil. It's really going to bring out a lot of these colors on the truck, so it's going to make the grain a lot more vibrant and also the rest of these colors, so we're going to mix a little bit of that in, just start applying it around the truck and see how it looks after that, so just a little bit of this really goes a long way, you want to clean it as fine as possible and also in direct sunlight, it will help it dry because you can see how much more that green looks just by just wiping it in there and, literally anyone can do this, it's as easy as wetting your rag and rubbing the panels try to do half of this hood here to show a little before and after, try to stay away from crumbs and such, don't wipe it off, just keep it on the metal sheet that looks good so you guys can notice it.
There's quite a bit of difference here compared to where I wiped this linseed oil and how it was, so it really enriches these colors. It will last about a couple of months depending on where you store the vehicle, so after a couple of months you may have to reapply, but it will actually preserve the sheet metal better than just leaving it exposed like that, it kind of protects it. of the element. We'll continue to go all the way through the truck, it's really going to make these colors come to life and give it the look we're going for.
