Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
 

Sorry to see your finger got the worst of it. I have one of those red cleaning wheels but have never gotten around to using it.
Now about the '68 Chevelle hanging?

Nice work so far. Don't let the finger get infected.

Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
 

Thanks Bomper the finger sure is sore doc said looked like a scoop takin out of the finger . kinda had looked like a flame :smoke:
but i cleared by the doc today it looks like its healing no problem and if i keep from bumping it on the frame censored: while sanding the tight spots

Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
 

Hot rod black or go simi gloss black, both are great.
