Looks great. What did you use to buff out the paint? Turned out really nice.

I used bathroom cleanser and a brush on my impact drill. Comet cleanser...

That truck came out very nice, I like everything you done to it, including the headlights.
Some Meguiars Marine Wax will give it a nice shine, if you want it to.

Very nice work!

Couple more pics of the 68.
The thing about folks that have never built hot rod have no clue how much work it is and the costs involved.
Don't get me wrong if you can afford to farm out all the work that's cool with me.
I can't afford to do that plus I really like the build. The 68 above is the first hot rod I did 90% of the body work under a local body shop supervision. Not the paint or cut/buffing.

Im with you ...I call myself a parts changer..I am not a technician or call myself a mechanic all though I am in inclined:)...... I can do body work and paint but choose not to at my age ...a lot of super builds and builders on here yours is one that stands out .... my opinion
