Innovative Detailing

Final reveal on this incredibly rare 1980 Ford Shay Model A Pickup after completing my full Cosmetic Restoration Services.

What arrived tired, weathered and neglected after years of sitting has now been completely revived back to life with a deep focus on preservation, refinement and attention to detail. Every panel, trim piece and surface was carefully addressed to enhance the originality of this vehicle while dramatically improving its overall appearance and presentation.

From extensive paint correction and wet sanding refinement to chrome polishing, undercarriage preservation, interior detailing and engine bay restoration, this pickup received countless hours of labor to bring back the richness, gloss and depth hidden within the original finish. The goal was never to erase its history, but to preserve it while elevating it to a level worthy of its rarity.

Now under direct daylight, the results speak for themselves. The reflections, clarity and gloss throughout the paint completely transform the truck from how it first arrived. Seeing the sunlight roll across the body lines and brightwork makes every hour invested worth it.

Much more than just a detail — this was a full cosmetic revival focused on craftsmanship, preservation and bringing curb appeal back to a piece of automotive history.

A final video showing the amazing results, its crazy to think where this truck started to where it is today at Innovative Detailing
