started off with 160 and got about 90% of the casting 'pitting' off (tight areas were just not worth the effort since i'm never going to see them again lol) then went over all those areas with 220 - 600 - 1000 - 2000 then polished them off with a couple different drill buffers.

the rest of the crew is sleeping so i'll finish them tomorrow. for now i've got some bambi stew simmering in the kitchen and surfing the movie channels

Its going to look like a BBC! I love it! That polishing job had to take forever. Nice work.


Hey, to clean up the motor, you could always get with Simon and Trent and do one of those simple fuel systems they came up with. You could always clean up the wiring the way Trent did it, too. Just some ideas.
