What size and what kind of parts do you want to tumble?I use a vibrasonic 'tumbler' used for cleaning/polishing cartridge cases I picked up at a gun show.

:) I'm so bored, I get done with my car and then rip it apart sell all the stuff and have something new built... It never ends..LOL but this is the last time for that.. the new build is final. Maybe I'll tear out the suspension and go with all MADMAN stuff now...LOL Its all after-market already :bang:

I'm done though, not going to take on anymore. Just going to sell the coil relocation kits, MSD wires, and 408 now. Oh yeah the Ron Davis radiator as well ...lol

I used to work at a compay where one of the jobs i had was to clean brass coring rings from soil samples. I eneded up finding a smaller home size concrete mixer, angled it at 35*- 40*ish and put water and p-gravel in it while it spun....that worked great at cleaning the rings (they even got polished at the same time). I am guessing with some different agregate, depending on what you are cleaning, it would work. The mixer was about a 10-gallon size.
