Default here's the deal !!!!!!!!!

thanks for the compliments, eastwood they have all your buffing and polishing material the only thing they don't sell is patience?? the q-lift is handy but i wouldn't pay 1500.00 for it, i got lucky and traded some engine parts 454 block,heads etc etc for it ,but with limited space it works great, and when i get headders i'll easily do them on the lift, no emmissions in fl. the pipe was from a member 40.00 $ so thats why i got it, and the complete underside is polished, drive shaft shines like chrome, with the car on the lift and being a garage queen it;s easy to go and work on it for 30-40 min a day, trans and bell housing is polished (what i can reach that is ,) and the engine compartment is the same , a little every day, thanks for your comments, i'm just 1 of 100''''''s that are all shined up billyb. 02 firehawk # 74

Ignore all the haters. Sometimes we do stuff just because it's fun and like doing car stuff to pass the time.

I'm picking up a 4 post lift in two weeks and plan to spend some time on the underside cleaning it up. I may not polish everything, but a nice clean up is in store. I'll probably pull the magnaflow off and fully polish it since it's stainless steel.

Again, congrats on the nice work.

If you've gone that far, why not try to polish the heat sheilds as well... Just a thought, would look pretty pimp in my oppinion.
