Fuel Cell back from anodize... Not really sure if I like the different texture, I was initally going to polish it so it had a shiny finish but decided on somewhat of a brushed finish...

Eastern Plating in Baltimore, I am probably going to make a new tank and polish it before we anodize it. I've seen their work when the aluminum is polished before its anodized and its an amazing difference. It will work for now...

I picked up more aluminum to make yet again another fuel tank. Its easy and takes abou 30 minutes to do the whole process. This time I am going to polish it.

Robert,
Who knows, we have a couple of projects so it may end up in one of those cars. The fuel cell actually looks pretty interesting in person but polished would be better.

You definitely want to bead blast it, polish out the whole tank and then anodize it. You will be amazed at how awesome it will look if you do that process. Something like a smoke charcoal anodized over polish would look real good !
