Do you use a mechanical buffer or just good old fashioned elbow grease? What's your compound of choice?

I'm pretty sure it was you that was helping @Thatoneguy work on his and that one turned out pretty nice in the pics.

Just elbow grease, I killed the last buffer and haven’t replaced it. I use this, this, this, and this:

The Lucas I use to prep the surface. It’s coming along nicely, got the passenger side all done, not doing the hood or bed since we are doing body work on them

Graphic representation illustrating the difference between southern trucks that never experience road salt, or salt brine, or the thousands of stone chips from a cindered road. Trucks of that age with factory paint are far and few between around here. Nice trucks down there!

Plans changed with this truck the engine is coming out and going into the 88. Thinking with how rough this thing is on the outside it might be fun to strip it down take it to the drags to see what it can run

Probably just one of those cars that will never die! Lol my buddy had a 80 Honda Accord and no matter what happened to it( including engine fire) never stoped it. Only went to scrap because we couldn't locate a fuel tank for it after he jumped it and landed on a rock. 200$ cAr went like two years of nothing but torture

Made a few trips to deliver a ton and a half of hay, 2 bales at a time. Had to put it in 4 high to make it through the icy snow. Haven't had the truck long and today was the first since test drive I've had it in 4 low... Just to remember the crawl.

Went to the scrapyard to find a few parts for my buddy's Stang.

Came home with a superduty vacuum pump for $12. Stupid me completely forgot to look for cruise control stuff...

Found a D60. Trying to decide how bad I want it lol!
