Ive been waiting to work on this thing all summer. Finally got some time to get to it and it was a lot of fun to work on such a cool truck. Since this is a show truck I wanted to get the paint looking show quality.

This is how I got it. Looks pretty good but the paint was lacking shine up close

After working lest aggressive first and moving up I needed to go to M105 and orange to get most the defects out and that was followed by M205 and white pad

After polishing with Meguiars All Metal Polish. They were a lot of work to get all those spokes and tight spaces in between.

The afters. I waxed with a sample of Pinnacle Liquid Souveran. Unfortunately it was a cloudy day.

Thanks! The top was chopped. He said they took the front end out of a mustang II. It has a 351 with a 3 speed automatic. It was really fun to drive!
