AlV 69 Dodge GTS project
So, I wanted to try my hand at restoring the bright work. Read a few threads (Thanks Waggin) and started to clean up some trim pieces.
Doing this on the cheap I started out using my drill press to get a feel for it. After working on a small piece of scrap I felt pretty good but man it made a mess of my press. So I cleaned it up, off to HF I went to picked up a buffer polisher. Guy gave me a free one year warranty, that's nice I guess, this should get me through the car. lol
It's working pretty good.
It hit a little 5 " test spot on the Rocker moldings .
Not to bad.
Here I shined up the very oxidized hood trim. Pics don't do it justice.
This is hard and tedious work. Lot's of cleanup and the prep work is all done by hand no other power tools except the buffer. And you better keep on your toes or you will get wacked or send your rocker molding into your neighbors yard like a Jevelin. That's an unintended AMC reference right there :)
