Made more progress over the weekend. I made a big decision to NOT clear coat the faux-patina like I was originally planning on doing and just do a cut and polish. The biggest reason was because I'm not completely sold on the idea of clear coat and I think it might reduce the number of interested buyers, and, the truck is so solid and straight that if the next owner wants to clean up the body a bit and paint it they don't have to sand off hard clear coat to do it.

This is one pass with cutting compound. It will need two or three cuts and a couple passes with polish. Also, I sanded the paint off of the front emblem then blocked the face with 150g sand paper. I think it turned out good.
