Timothy Maikshilo Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Well I buffed and waxed the old girl today. She really needs a paint job but this will have to do for now. Excellent practice on buffing do to the fact it I couldn't screw it up. Need to get started on the tanks and bumper and rims 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Maikshilo Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Thanks Gentlemen, I picked up a sander today that should help with the tanks and have had a sand blaster my wife brought me many years ago that I am going to start using. The flat bed is coming off to be rebuilt and the frame will be cleaned up. I don't know anything about paint but eventually would like to paint it myself.

PaulThanks Paul, I really pressed down on the buffer to get the shine back and yes that is one of a couple Magnums and quite a number of Superliners that Fullfuel01 has. I do enjoy visiting my good friends from Quebec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
