Re: Grandpa's OG 1978

CB radio back in FTW! I really like builds like this. A truck that means something to you. Cleaning, tweaking, making the best of what's there. Low cost, high enjoyment. Keep us in on it.

I was amazed how my sun-baked door panels looked after some quality time with dish soap, steel wool, and 3M scuff pads where needed. I just used some ext. trim sealer on them after rinsing off the desiccated plastic sludge that the scrubbing removed. Next time I'll use car wash soap to leave as many of the oils in the plastic as I can, just enough to lubricate the steel wool and do some cleaning. And then a plastic bristle brush and a brass bristle brush where needed. That way, more of the stamped in graining will remain than if sandpaper was used. Yours came out nice!
