Actually it is just a large grinder with a buffing pad. You really need one that you can adjust the speed on, but that is what I had here at work.

I hate to remove the slider right now because it help with my 2-55 a/c. I agree that the toolbox and slider look like crap though and the wheels have got to go.

Yeah, it was throbbing when I got done and my hand had took shape the the buffers handle also

Chevyholic · 07-11-2007, 09:39 AM

Wow, what a difference! My first car/truck was a 1980 Toyota pickup SR5 and it came to me that way. I spent one day with rubbing compound and wax and felt like I got a new truck. Its a great feeling.

Great job!

Nice! Let me PM you the address where my truck is parked and you can do mine.

JAKES 68GMC · 07-11-2007, 01:00 PM

I can't believe you buffed that out, I don't believe you buffed it out.

Looks good, maybe I'll try it with my truck before the summers over. My paint looks almost as bad as yours did before you buffed it.

You do that and you will have built the exact truck that I have pieced together the last three years.
