WOW! That looks really great. I own an Automotive reconditioning shop and know how hard it is to polish "little sh*t" like that! You did great.. I think I'll try it on mine using an air dremmel tool. They make some really cool little attachments for those things that can make a job like this go pretty fast!
I should get to it in the next week or so (got three Customer cars ahead of it first). If it's something I can put a price too and teach my crew to do, maybe I'll put it out there as a side job on our list! I dont think I can post my business info on here? or I might offer up the services!
Anyway, great job again - and thanks for the idea!
(unfortunately, I'm one of those guys that enjoys that teadious work that nobody wants to do themselves!) lol.. but hey - it's a living.

Thank you! There are 3 chrome cap screws on the passenger side that I put through the holes created from the wiremod. They have washers and nuts underneath holding the wires in place more securely.

Thanks! That along with the oil, coolant res, radiator, brake and PS caps are all being changed. Dipstick maybe too.

Thanks! It was the worst. Hated it and wont polish something that size and roughly cast again haha. Lots of sanding with finer and finer sandpaper and polishing with cotton wheel and mini buffer I made.
