That is a good idea! Looks good from here Drew.

wheels need to be tucked up in the wheel wells a little higher

So...does this mean the last try was good and you'll be ready to sand and buff in a few days once it cures?

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-01-2012, 03:12 AM

Very nice Drew!

tim23mn · 01-01-2012, 08:18 AM

I think I might be in love. Wait......I know I'm in love. Awesome work Drew! It's beautiful!

Thanks you, and yes I am shooting for the Grand Rod Run in Pigeon Forge April 14th for the coming out party unless some one tells me of somewhere else better around that date.

hmmm, I wonder how my Burb would fair in the Smoky Mountains pulling my camper. I'll have to keep this date in mind.

hotrodchevy1999 · 01-01-2012, 11:50 PM

hope you make it to the rod run with your build i would like to see your 3 door there

drewskiren · 01-02-2012, 12:09 AM

I have been buffing a little today and did the first type compound on the tailgate, bedside, and half of a rear door. It is coming out really well.

Looking good !

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-02-2012, 01:35 PM

Man, it would be nice to have an index to search the portions of your build.

**nlped** · 01-02-2012, 01:44 PM

Looking great!!!

classicchev · 01-02-2012, 02:40 PM

I see your beast is outgrowing your shop also!! Time to get that trim on and get it out of the garage.

What polishing compound you using ?

Darren

72BlckButy · 01-02-2012, 02:54 PM

Polished that thing is amazing...

tanman722001 · 01-02-2012, 07:01 PM

Looks dang good Drew.Cant wait to see it with the trim on it.

drewskiren · 01-02-2012, 07:58 PM

Plodding through. I think maybe I am one/eighth of the way finished with buffing. Here are the 2 products I am using. The first one with a wool pad gets out the 1500 grit marks and the second one (black bottle) with a foam pad gets out the ghosting marks left from the first compound. I cut with the white stuff about 3 times with the lightest pressure on the last pass. I have only done a spot with the black foam pad stuff, so no tips on that yet.

mcbassin · 01-02-2012, 10:00 PM

Shiny! looking good Drew!

**youngrodder** · 01-03-2012, 12:13 AM

Drew-

My paint guy swears by these same 3m products. I have also been using them for years since he was the one that taught me how to buff out a car. The cost of these materials it pretty decent as well..

Looking good my man!!

Marc

Low Elco · 01-03-2012, 01:14 AM

Little tip, Drew... While not technically necessary, I like to wipe down between stages with a soapy rag. Also, knock your speed down from full while cutting the scratch out, to about 2/3 on the mid-cut, to about 1/3 on the final cut. You don't need a lot of the later stuff. A dab on the pad gets 'er done, and makes a lot less mess. Meguiars soft pads seem to help with swirls. Have fun!

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-03-2012, 02:30 AM

Very nice Drew!
