Re: Fixin Dixie - 66 Short Bed Fleetside

I had hoped to get more panels painted this weekend but the sandblaster place is running behind. So I took time to strip down the fogged up and semi-pitted anodized aluminum custom cab trim plates and the front grill. Used oven cleaner to remove the anodized coating and then wet sanded with 600 up to 2000 paper and then tried out the polishing attachment to the drill with high gloss polishing compound.

After using the oven cleaner




On left is polished after wet sanding, on right is wet sanded only



Then both polished



Then I had my first successful brisket on a weber kettle!! Still needs some fine tuning but it's tasty.



I'll be polishing it off by weeks end.
