Quick & easy ! Polishing pics....

I finally got around to polishing one of the last items ( LT1 idler pulley ) I needed to finish on the front of my motor so all of the front end components will be new when I pull the old stuff off. I'm not sure how well you can see this part on the motor, but if you happen to be laying on the ground as I drive over you it should look real good !

At least you didn't chrome it! Chrome sucks >_< I don't know why people use it, it keeps in heat like -50F Sleeping Bag!

Anyways, looks really good

Cool beans, looks good. I'm in agreement with you about the "whether it's worth it to polish if you can't see it" idea because even if very few people ever notice it, I will and I know it'll always bug me knowing I left a part untouched.

You should finish it out with one of these:

I'm actually not even using this pulley. If you'll pay for shipping, you can have it.
