Depending on how strong you are, it will make you feel weak or awesome. When I was building trucks we used two people to move the axles around, usually D30s and D44s. I went to one of my fab guys and he grabbed the axle with one hand, slid it down the bed, threw it over his shoulder and walked off with it. Hmmm....talk about being made feel like a wimp haha

Haha thanks, I am very happy how it came out

Well trucks been dirty and my rims have been a disgrace lately, so I figured I would thoroughly polish my rims for once. So I bought a Meguiars polishing kit that came with a cone and went to work. The kit came with a small bottle of polish then finished up using metal polish from the Chemical guys.

Before

I know they are no Glock Customs finish and the backs needs attention but for my first real attempt I didn't think it was bad.
 
Added some more strips to the front crossmember and started to get rid of the RGB leds
