I hate wetsanding... (with a passion)

It takes FOREVER, its distracting me from my finals, and it even makes a 20 year olds back hurt.... but it looks so good!

I have not posted much here in a long time (other than a bumper post) but here is a quick refresh on my project.
* Started out as my grandfathers truck
* Got it when i was 15 when he past away with 45K miles
* It had a 305 with a 700r4, later replaced with a gm 350 crate
* Did all the bodywork and paint 2 years ago
* Cracked the flexplate 2nd day i had it back from paint.
* Neglected it till about a week ago due to school and work taking all my time and money.

I was cleaning my horrid garage when i stumbled across some 2000 grit i had left over from my Volvo project. I filled up a bucket of soapy water and a spray bottle and went to work on the tailgate then the bed.

I hope i will have it done by the time it gets nicer in Oregon. Maybe by then i'll have enough bank for tires for my 20's that collect dust, a flexplate and torque converter.

Here are a few pics. Anyone have any helpful tips for buffing?

these are only during and after pics
