Welcome from Pittsburgh Pa! You gonna get hit with getting some pic's posted, sounds like a nice ride! Info will be coming
Welcome to the board. May I suggest the Mothers Mini Powerball. It will save the fingers when polishing wheels. Best thing since sliced bread.
Yikes! I think I've found my Maverick twin... Let's see: 73 Grabber - Check Got in high school in the eighties - Check (got mine in 86) Vinyl top - Check Slot mags - Check Finally getting around to restoring after 20 years - Check Located in Puget Sound area (I'm in Woodinville) - Check Maybe the only difference is color? You can see mine at http://www.flickr.com/photos/nwhiker/2660604190/ A testament to the Mother's Mag polish: If you zoom in on the photo, you can see how my wheels turned out after using the stuff. But I gotta say that I'll give the power ball a try next time... I did those by hand and it hurt for days afterward... And to the !
And if you haven't seen yet, there's a get together this weekend at XXX in Issaquah. See this thread for details.
