Can you do it from the driver's seat, or does your car have to also be in frame?

I really like that you made sure to protect the paint on your pristine hail-dented hood from that propeller with a towel. Don't worry, I'd do the same, we're all a bunch of weirdos.

Alright, so this requires some backstory. Several years ago, my grandparents gave me their old truck, a 1990 ford f-150. As these things tend to go, I grew up around this truck during family camping vacations and just hanging out with grandpa and grandma when I was a kid / teen. As of five years ago, grandpa couldn't really reliably drive and they don't camp anymore, so they didn't have much use for the poor old thing. I couldn't bear to see them get rid of it, it was too nice (mostly) and I'm clearly too sentimental about cars, so I asked if I could have it. They seemed happy that I wanted it and were glad to help me out at the time, as I wasn't nearly as financially secure then as I am now. That said, it wasn't perfect. This was a few years ago, the paint on the hood was classic 90s ford single stage and was peeling, cracking, flaking off, and causing the sheet metal to rust. I don't have many pictures of the hood before, I really should have grabbed some. I kept meaning to fix it, or get it fixed, but I have so many other projects on the go it was always at the bottom of the pile. Partially because it's never really needed anything more than basic maintenance and just keeps going. Last year I spot some rust on the cab corner, and I figure I have to make a decision, do I let it rot slowly (as I keep it in the garage and never winter drive it) or do I get it fixed proper-like? Gramps isn't getting younger, and I'd like them to see the truck back the way it was when they bought it new nearly 30 years ago. About a month ago I take it in for an estimate to a couple body/paint places and they're really looking for work, they give me a pretty decent deal, so I figure why not get it done now? The rust is now gone, and the hood is back to the original paint colour, it's pretty well blended with the rest. The front fascia was really covered in rock chips, they spot-painted all of them (sorry it's got a little road dirt on it here) so it's not perfect but it's way better than it was before. This is the corner that was rusting out, they cut out the old and fabricated some new sheet metal and blended the paint quite well. Stylin' It's got a few dents here, and few dings there, but a power polish and some paint go a long way to cleaning up a nice old truck like this. They even detailed the interior as part of the deal (note the hand crocheted seat blanket my grandma made for me). I had dinner with my grandparents tonight, they seemed delighted to see it fixed up to nearly original condition I couldn't let this truck fade away, it's got too much personality and way too many of my memories attached to it. It doesn't even have 160 thousand kilometers on the clock yet. What say you, does this fit your criteria?
