Replace top with new rail/canvas/cord system to relieve rub/wear marks

Replace carpet and padding

Repair trunk electrical wiring harness, replace trunk trim seal

Repair driver seat cover attachment (leather sliding off seat cushion)

Holy By the time you're done, all you'll have left original is the motor and frame!

Was contacted by my buddy about doing a wetsand and buff job on his s10 he had painted black. The truck used to be orange and silver. It made it to the final 4 at pinks all out at pbir when his buddy was driving it. He bought it back and is changing it up a bit. The guy that painted screwed him over by not doing the finish work. The areas he did sand were left cloudy and full of sand scratches. So I went over the truck again to make it look like it should.

Started with 1500 grit then 2000 grit meguires sand paper.
Makita buffer with a yellow cutting pad and meguires 105 ultra cut compound.
Porter cable da polisher set to 4 with a lake county orange pad and meguires 105 compound

Then a white polishing pad set to 4 using meguires 205 finishing polish.
once he gets it back together and running I will go over it with the meguires 7 glaze and meguires 26 yellow wax.

Here are some finished pics

I had a permanent tow hook welded on. Am very pleased with it. No more grappling around every time I have to hook up the winch!
