Yeah, I can imagine. I polished all of my '68 trim using a friend's equipment and the rocker trim is almost impossible to get really shiny. After all, it's been sandblasted for 45 years. At least on the '68, you just about have to have the car on a lift or be lying on your back before it's very visible. The '67 rocker trim is really in your face comparitively....
By the way, one more hazard you'll find out about with the larger motor....that stuff gets HOT!
