    I was playing with that white SuperDuty in the driveway,pulling that big white trailer sitting there!!!! Needed a break...but I"m really ready to get back at it.I've already had motor,headers,clutch linkage and shifter all in it and sorted out so it should go pretty fast from here.

    I can look and see the name as I just bought it in the spring,a 3M is big bucks and this was only about 15.00,it's a knockoff,but it did a great job.It fits on your electric buffer and I use 40 grit,it's about 9-10".

    Yeah the 3-M ones are wonderfull but expensive,I am looking for a cheaper alternative that will do the job.Did the disc hold up well or is it close to used out after the quarters and roof??
