Default accident update

some of you may remember this thread:https://montecarloforum.com/forum/general-monte-carlo-talk-9/what-do-need-advice-44057/

Well the car is coming along nicely. it is almost complete. currently, I am restoring the wheels as they were getting corroded with the "White Rust". This is only the first wheel and it was just started yeaterday late in the afternoon. basically only once with the sanding.

tell me what you think.

P.S. the rubber will be removed to get at the lip better.

Looking good! I would Brush and Clear coat them. But I'm a fan of Shiny without a minimum of maintenance.

Give them a shiny finish with autosol or some other type of mild abrasive polishing compound and then give them a shot of clear coat even from a can, but if you have a buddy with an air compressor and spraying abilities that is always better, that way you don't have to worry about them until the clear coat starts to get roughed up from daily driving.
