It's a 1959 Grumman Olson Kurbside. What I've found is it isn't very common, it's shorter than most and single rear wheel. 103" WB and the cargo area is only 8', GVW rating is 10K, with the spring pack in the back it should haul quite a bit of plywood!

Wayne's guy stopped by and left me a bit of product, seems to be working.

My truck in front of the house, probably 35'-40' away.

This reminds me of the project I did when I polished and put sharkhide on the toons on my pontoon boat. Lotta work but it looked great when done.

Then later on my friend that worked at the American Airlines overhaul base brought me a case of stuff they used to polish the planes. I haven't tried it yet but I bet it's the same stuff your friend gave you. Looks great!
