POlishing aluminum is fairly easy. Any chrome plating shop can polish them for you or you can do it yourself if you have some basic tools. You can even get attachments for your cordless drill for polishing wheels. Combine that with a little metal polish and you will have a mirror like finish. If the wheels are really rough, you can sand them out first but thats getting into a lot of work. You can always get your factory wheels chrome plated. Less maintanance to keep them shiney.

This is the truck im working on right now has different grill due to nice fender bender but thats it for exterior

[OneClean86]

Here's my 86. Bought her a few months ago with ozidized paint and 96K miles. She's running on a 305 and a 350turbo. I plan on dropping her 2.5/4 on some 18s in the next few months.

And here she sits now with about 4 hours worth of rubbing compound and wax put onto her!

Heres Mine. 1987 GMC V3500 Sierra Classic. Factory 454, Th400, 205 T-case, Dana 60, 14 Bolt. The original owner had the factory cab lights and tailgate lights mudded shut with some bondo but eventually as i get money that will get fixed when paint is done. its got a skyjacker lift, Centerline wheels and BFG A/T's. The interior is all original, except the stereo, and tach. its my baby i got it my senior year in high school and am still fixin it up during my first year in college. its hopefully gunna get a new paint job of the same style and colors except base coat/ clear coat, 91 suburban power mirrors, 91 suburban core support and grille, warn classic winch bumper, 12,000 lb warn winch, all new gm light grey interior, and a late 90's gm bench seat with the fold down console. oh, and a roller big block built up pretty good.

dont change the stacked headlights. 4 across 91 suburban lights are so nineties. i love the stacked headlights of 81-88. Very nice truck. single-wheel one-tons are my faves.

[cmax87v3500]

Thanks! we will see about the grille though truckfan, i have always wanted it to look like this! a truck my dad built.
