In hindsight I would have spent more time with the paint stripper as it can be a bit of a pain getting rid of some of the sanding marks.
I then hit it with a high speed wheel with polishing compound.
As around the rivets I used a wire wheel on both my drill and die grinder.

Thanks for the info! Mine still has it's paint, so I've got a lot of work ahead of me to get it looking any where near as nice as yours. First priority is swapping the 5.3/TH350 combo into it.
Keep up the good work and be sure to continue sharing your progress!
Happy New Year!
