i used two grits, i can remember the two....but the fine one really made it shiny, just make sure you dont grind the area where the throttle closes

That looks awesome!

I'd hit it with some 300 then 600 grit sandpaper. If you've got a buffing wheel and some compound, it would help too.

Ditto! I did mine this last week, without bumpstop or half shafting it....drove it a little while, and then tore into it and did those two mods...I noticed a bit of a difference SOTP doing them. It was likely the bump sop mod that made the difference, but every little bit helps! It only takes a few minutes to do them!
