    Well this was an interesting job the truck had extremely hard paint the pc wouldnt touch the swirls. I had to go over truck with rotary 80 the pc with 80 twice to get buffer trails out which I had a few of cause of the large amount of curves all came out I ended up using 80 via rotary 80 via pc x2 then 21 and nxt metal polish on the wheels
    This is a special truck It looks pretty much stock but runs mid 12's the back half of the truch has all fiberglass panels and under the hood is a twin turbo'ed 427 I have a dirty pick of engine but forgot to take one before I delivered it but since I am short cant really see to much of the engine. The truck had some extremely bad swirling which I took out I was in a hurry to take it back so no clean engine or interior pics sorry. Greg

        The worst part about this tr uck was that I had to do most of it in the sun which is a pain especially with black. The truck wipped my butt I am glad I had it for a few days. Greg

              How hard is it to use a rotary?

                well the rotary to sum things up is a major tool not a toy I am still in the early stages of using it but am getting more comfortable. I did a black sunfire its on here under "gift for a friend" almost entirely with the rotary but it was in real bad shape. There are so many things that can go wrong and they are pretty hard to use at first. If you search around on here and autopia you can find out almost anything you need. Once you start to get the hang of it there is no looking back though. Hope that kinda helps Greg.

                    GREAT job...black is the toughest of all colors in my opinion to keep clean and to get to the point where you're satisfied...and you find out quickly that you're never satisfied !!...again, nice job !!
