pistons and crank ready...

 

ready to polish intake

 

this is stained and nasty...

starting to clean

 

overall

 

would u buff the writing off?

 

fuel pump surface

 

alternator attachment point...

 

getting as many spots as possible...

 

careful line between removing casting lines and removing too much alum

 

lot of intricate spots...

 

gettin closer...

 

okay that's as far as I can go with the tools at hand... Need to dig out the porting and polishing bits...

 

Every time I polish something I gain new respect for those who do it. And I think, "Why didn't I spend the extra $20 for the polished part?"

Of course, you're using the intake you already had so you didn't have that option.

 

Thanks bro... Would u grind off the "Sharp" letters?

 

nope not me,

G

 

Me neither... not a chance!

 

Leave the sharp on there.

 

Leave the "Sharp" on it, part of the flavor I think you are looking for....

 

ok got it... The Sharp stays...

 

I agree, the basics are all there but the grill needs to go i'm afraid.

 

Thanks m8

 

It looks too SHARP to grind it off!

BAWAAHHHHAAAAAAAWWWWAAAAAAAAA

Man, I crack myself up sometimes.

 

Dude can you hit return between each picture, That way you don't need a 20ft widescreen to see them.

 

yeah i've been posting a little differently now... This shouldn't be an issue in the later posts... PS they don't have the 32" computer monitors in England? LOL

 

I think I would have used a micro shot bead blast on the intake. Per more original.
Leave the Sharp lettering on the part. You will devalue it if you remove it. Every time I ever try polishing a big part like that I send it to a pro, I just can't get into the vibe of polishing, they laugh at me and pat me on the head and tell me how smart I am for knowing when to stop and not F#$k the part up. There's some stuff that none can fault you for not doing yourself, and a good polisher really is an under appreciated artist.

 

I got a 28" but still need to scroll across LOL
Glad to see your on the right track at last

 

I like the look of vapour blasting.

 

It comes from years of polishing rims, and various motorcycle parts... Trial and error I guess...LOL

LOL...

Yes that is very neat looking... I'm a little bit like you... I like the shiny blingy stuff, I think I will be polishing my carbs out too!
