69 Custom 30 wrecker restoration

A few days later, it was time to get my hands wet with lots of sanding and buffing. I will wet sand all panels out to 2000 grit, then polish with Mequiars products. Depending on the amount of orange peel, it can go from 1200 to 1500 and then to 2000. On smoother surfaces I start with the 1500. Photo #1 & #2 show one of the doors and fenders all done with the emblems and marker light installed. Takes a lot of time but worth it wouldn’t you say?

After polishing out the back of cab area, I installed the box back on the frame. Now it’s starting to look like something. (photo #3)

Check out those “fly swatter” mirrors! Not many people like these but I think they make the truck look just right! This is just how the general built it. The way these swing way out there make them perfect for a tow truck.
