EXTERIOR CLEAR COAT AND BED FINISH! CHEAP BUDGET F100 CROWN VIC SWAP!

Next project on the channel that is really exciting for us, 1959 Ford F100 Long bed and 2010 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor chassis swap. In this video, we prep the truck for clear coat and well as create fauxtina (pseudo patina) on the areas that need bodywork. Great work from ‪@FREAKStudios‬ on the airbrush work to bring this to the next level. This series of videos will highlight how to do this conversion as simple and cost effective as possible. We are shooting for $2000 initial budget to have a running driving shop truck. In the future, we will make improvements after we enjoy it for awhile. Also, you know me, this is staying patina!

That satin finish is perfection! 😍🏆

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Thank you! A lot of people don't like clear coating old trucks, but buffing them instead. But in certain cases like this one where the paint is flaking off I feel like it's necessary so that it doesn't get carried away! And in my opinion if you're going to clear coat a classic vehicle It has to be satin, not a shiny clear over patina fan!

[@PenjaminFitness]

Viper engine or power stroke?

[@BestDamnShopAround]

@@PenjaminFitness it's a pi 4.6. but a 7.3 power stroke would be rad!

Oh, just my worthless.02 cents. I would look for some older OEM 17 x 8 inch Mustang Crager style cast wheels. I *believe* they made them in two different offsets 45 and 35et.

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Not a bad idea!

[@randy6350]

Me again, Will the clear paint stick to bare metal even after being prepped with Scotch-Brite?

[@BestDamnShopAround]

Yessir, as long as it's etched properly!

[@randy6350]

@@BestDamnShopAround Thanks for the reply, much appreciated!

[@BestDamnShopAround]

@@randy6350 yessir! The comments are much appreciated!

[@vantowers9017]

Can I get it when you're done?

[@BestDamnShopAround]

It will be for sale eventually! I've got to enjoy it first!

[@brianmiller6497]

What a waste of time and money. You took a cool looking truck and ruined it with what you think is upgrading it to look like scrap metal

[@BestDamnShopAround]

@@brianmiller6497 thanks for your input! I'll take it into consideration next time I build a truck for myself!
