Big thanks to Camel for pointing out the summit sanding kit It only took 3 hours to get this far on both the fd uim and front cover. I've only removed the pits with 80 grit; I've got to go up by hand to 1500grit. Still have to do the 20b tb, elbow, my housings ect ect

 

looks great

 

mmm shiny metal, while you have them f the car why not dua a little polish action on the inside too.

 

Maybe a little port matching too!

 

I am going to wait until I get my motor back, so I can port match the lim runners to the ported iron runners. Then go ahead and port the rest of the manifolds..

 

rotaries and bacardi what more does a man need to find happynes....:]

 

Sweet!

 

do the 1500 grit thing again except WET and ONLY IN ONE DIRECTION then get some rubbing compound (the stuff you use to polish a new paint job) and rub the ***** down in little circles withan old SOFT rag. it'll look like chrome. no lie.

 

Have fun inhaling aluminum, had to buy a respirator for mine. Cough! 4 hours for just the lim an uim and im still on 240 grit!

 

I must have spent at least 30 to 40 hours on mine. FIrst I started of with a wire wheel that dug bad grooves and I have been removing them by hand since all these grooves are in the hard to reach areas.

I'm getting there and the waterpump neck is done. Shines to the point I can se my face in it. NIce. But I will never undergo this again. To much effort.

I am doing.
UIM, LIM, Water pump neck, Intercooler tubes etc.


Bling!

 

This is very nice work. Glad to see someone investing so heavely into the preservation of their car!

 

Oh, and a little bling never hurts either

 

I'm hoping my mask will do a good enough job.. I should look into getting a respirator anyhow.
