well after 5 1/2 hours one of my silverado's is done getting restored.
in the photo there is tape on the wheels so they would not get any paint on them during the restoration process

nice Job!

If you take the chrome "hubcaps" off of the wheels, there is a lock ring holding the wheel on. When I restore them, I take the wheels off, and paint over the area- steel wool will take the excess paint off of the wheel axle.

Great machine!!!!!

I enjoy restoring those silverado's they were the nicest looking machine Electrolux put out, and In my opinion the best built.
