In this thrilling episode of Shmee150, our beloved host Shmee is back at the Shmuseum in the United Kingdom to embark on a daring mission: to restore his Ford GT to its former glory. The car had been wrapped in a polarizing design for charity, but now it's time to bring back the iconic red and gold "Iron Man" spec that made this car a true head-turner. And who better to assist Shmee in this automotive adventure than the skilled team at dub Customs?
With the car sporting a protective layer of paint protection film (PPF) and having endured thousands of miles, the challenge lies in delicately peeling off the wrap while preserving the PPF and the car's impeccable condition. The team is determined to save as much of the wrap as possible for future use, showcasing their expertise in the art of wrap removal. As they carefully work their way through the car, removing front splitters and tackling tricky areas like the roof with its suction mount marks, the anticipation builds.
But that's not all! Shmee takes a break from the Ford GT restoration to introduce a thrilling addition to the Shmuseum: the Oracle Red Bull Racing e-scooter. This carbon fiber beauty, inspired by the championship-winning F1 team, boasts a powerful motor, impressive speed, and a range that will leave you wanting more. Shmee takes it for a spin around the farm, showcasing its sleek design and impressive performance.
Meanwhile, the restoration efforts continue, with the team making steady progress in revealing the car's stunning red paint underneath the wrap. They discuss the importance of preserving the artwork and preventing the wrap from sticking to itself, ensuring that every detail is handled with utmost care. As the Ford GT slowly transforms back into its iconic Iron Man spec, Shmee is joined by a visitor who shares his own automotive tale of triumph, involving a beloved AC Cobra replica.
With each passing moment, the excitement grows as the team gets closer to completing the restoration. The Ford GT's red and gold stripes are unveiled, and it becomes clear that the car's paint is nothing short of breathtaking. As Shmee and the team work diligently to bring this automotive masterpiece back to life, the anticipation builds for the final reveal. Stay tuned for the next thrilling installment of Shmee150, where the Ford GT will once again reign supreme in its original, eye-catching glory.
