Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride

Well this project now has a deadline, my oldest son got engaged two weeks ago and my new daughter asked if they can leave the wedding in the truck, she's a keeper

Wedding is July 30th so I better get busy.

2 coats of poly on the bottom and 4 on the top:

Too cool! Looks like you're making nice progress so far, so hopefully the deadline won't be an issue. I'm thankful we were able to use my truck in our wedding.

Wow, just wow. I cannot even imagine the amount of love (read: work, dedication, perseverance, patience, etc.) that has gone into this truck.

I haven't cut and buffed in a long long time. Using 3M products has been a pleasure.

I use 1500, 3000 & 5000 grit, it was pretty amazing.

This is after 5000, freaking shines



After 3 types of polish, smooth as glass:
