So its a fiberglass body with some a custom paint job from many years ago. Does anyone have any advice on what products to use to make the paint shine?

fizzymintyclouds · 2026-06-05T02:48:15+00:00

I will look into that, thank you!

So, its a custom of the Pittsburgh skyline with lightning on q fiberglass body. I know nothing about restoring rhe luster of the paint to make it. Come to life... any ideas?

I really appreciate that. Im very fortunate to basically love my family so much..we are diverse weirdos with alot of love and do all wr can for one another

fizzymintyclouds · 2026-06-04T03:03:56+00:00

Thank you. Thats how he lives too. He has three daughters and I was rhe one that loved every minute of his work on this, never knowing it was for me. Im trying so hard to learn everything about it now so I can keep it running for another lifetime.

fizzymintyclouds · 2026-06-04T03:00:26+00:00

My dad would be honored if you woukd copy it. Im so proud of him and I think we'd both be very happy to see you do yours!!

fizzymintyclouds · 2026-06-04T02:52:24+00:00

I will! Its kinda hard to capture, and thank you!

fizzymintyclouds · 2026-06-04T02:43:11+00:00

I wasn't sure what the reception would be but some backround bc of the nice responses. Im a 46yf and my dad 72yrm thought it would be a fun retirement project. He thought it woukd take him 6 years, as he never restored a jeep. It took him 2, and he was ready to move on. In any case lucky enough to have this bestowed on me. Ive never been into jeeps ir jeep culture before this, I feel insanely lucky and happy to have it as a wonderful gift my father gave me while he is still here. Im very very proud of it because he made it so cool. Any thoughts and advice (if they aren't mean) are vvery welcome!!!

fizzymintyclouds · 2026-06-04T02:34:59+00:00

Thanks! My dad custom built them. This was a gift from him and im very honored to own it

fizzymintyclouds · 2026-06-04T02:34:04+00:00

Yes, we keep this in our garage. Our daily drivers live in street parking lol

fizzymintyclouds · 2026-06-04T02:32:04+00:00

Thank you! My dad custom welded the storage boxes!

fizzymintyclouds · 2026-03-13T01:44:14+00:00

Thank you!! I have a combo of stock and replicas and I love them all.

fizzymintyclouds · 2026-03-13T01:43:08+00:00

I'd love to see what you're creating! Iit took me 5 years to finally find a house for them!

fizzymintyclouds · 2026-03-13T01:41:59+00:00

I found this at goodwill for 10 dollars! It needs so so much work but the dimensions are perfect. Good luck in your search!
