Vehicle Detail

As you can see from the photos, this Thunderbird has an absolute gorgeous body. This Thunderbird sports a beautiful older cosmetic restoration that has held up very well.. A high-quality prep and application was professionally performed, with no orange peel. The paint was then professionally buffed to a high gloss mirror finish and has held up very well for an older paint job. There is no rust bubbling anywhere on the outside body panels. The underside appears to have all original sheet metal, with great frame rails, strong torque boxes and undercarriage. There is a small 2x2 hole cut-out on the passenger rear drop-off. The only rust I could detect is a removable bracket on the underneath passenger side frame. This car is not a trailer queen, it has been driven and admired for many years with a few paint chips to prove it. There is some minor paint cracking under the driver rear tail light (see picture). There is some touched up bodywork on the inside of the hood by the hinges. The panels on this car show great fit and are straight. New aftermarket rear fender skirts. I would rate it a solid driver quality paint and body 8 out of 10.
