Attempt/Mistake #2

[El Campo]

Look at this link for how to do the wheels. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=485766 I had real hell trying to get them polished until jmdero clued me in how to do it. First I hit them with Allbrite wire wheel acid for one minute and then washed off very well (found out that if you have a brush and agitate the suds on the wheel during this one minute it works much better yet even). I had some nasty deep pits on them and had to end up wetsanding the hoops (in some spots all the way down to 400 grit) and then working up to 2000. Then I used some Master Formula (brand) jewelers rouge that I got at the Rot biker rally a few weeks ago and a cotton polishing wheel that cost 3 dollars at HF on my 90 degree die grinder. This is how they turned out. Takes time but the results speak for themselves. Then I sealed them with Master Formula sealer which they say will keep them oxidation free even in Texas for 6 months. I am going to do the billet gauge bezel on Monday and will post step by step pictures of it. It is brushed aluminum but am going to polish it to match the wheels as I am not crazy about the brushed look.
