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

Thanks for looking,

Exactly how I would make my truck look. Nice work.

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!
