#2evening150da,220da,400wet,600wet,1000wet.
still more touch ups needed in spots...

80 grit da sander....that wheel was bad like the others. Evening #1

 

Rear wheel #1... before. Man this is gonna suck in a whole new way

 

 

lol
Did I inspire you?
Now I didn't do this I payed to have it done

 

I started mine and finally said screw it, hired it out!

 

I did my front 2 but couldn't figure out how to get inside the rears. But now that I watched him and seen what he used I'll be doing my own from now on. I went to peterbuilt in Tulsa and bought the stuff they sale to do tanks and wheels with. Thats what I used on the fronts. It was the same wheels he used but he had 1 with like scotch brite wheel that he started with. I'll have to get one of those

 

 

And then there were 2....no not perfect but as I'm installing my old tires temporarily to make it roll I'm not making this the last polish. There is so much to do and it's gonna sit around still they will come around more over time. Mainly I know now they can come back and don't look dreadful.

 

Yeah, it really is amazing how they clean up!

 

It sure is a lot of sanding. I need to concentrate better and slow down. Just so much to do still.
Its time to make this thing drive again.

 

They have da sand paper up to 2000 grit. That will save you a lot of hand sanding with water. They have a small da kit you can get as well for the hard to get spots. They are looking good so far.

 

It needed more 600 and below. That'll come later tho. I have polished plenty at 1000. Usually 2000 isn't sticky back. I have 1500,2000 but just don't see the point . I have cloth wheels with rouge not polishing by hand.

 

Tunnel built,cab back off frame. Did a little grinding/welding up front. A tad more then the front and under will get paint before going to body shop.
