    Some very cool behind the scenes stuff...

    Blackstock Ford's motto is 'You Drive Us To Be Different..."

    How different...?

    Well, here's where Blackstock Ford President Jim Carson is right now...

    ...Air Design HQ in Mexico. He's working with 3M and Air Design on developing superior Paint Protection Film for the new Mustang. And with all the complex contours and edges on newer vehicles, this is no easy task.





    Each coloured area is a different surface with curves and twists. They have to be converted to a flat surface and then evaluated for tension and sag.





    This is Bad Dog Mods own Shayne Legere (right). He is the Lead 3M Installer and Trainer.







    Who is Air Design...? Well, here's a little hint at what they do and who they do it for....

Friendly & enthusiastic guy who has his job description down pat ! Wish I was closer because I’d gladly do more business seeing as I do run 4 Fords in the household .

    Very happy to hear that! I will let Joel know you really appreciated his help today (and Jim Carson).

    And if you ever decide to make the trip for a new vehicle, please let me know. I will make sure you get the Royal Treatment... (just in case our A/C breaks down )
