hey go to www.eastwood.com and they have a kit so that you can get into those tight places. im gonna start my motor soon just waiting for the rest of our stuff to come in. Me and my cousin just ordered approx. $8000.00 worth of polishing equipment. so if you ever need anything polished and dont wanna go through the hell of it again let me know. I figure within 2 years we will start PC'ing as well. Just need a loan for the $15,000.00 oven lol.

wll do blood, and good luck with your buisness, lots of money envolved in that if done thoroughly...

you should try to make your own oven... im sure it wouldnt be to hard to make one. just build it outta steal, and put heating elements in it...

15-20 hours im guessing, some people who have show cars spend hundreds of hours sanding and polishing

I'm not a fan of the polished engine look, but I must say, that looks really cool. My kudos to you for doing all that work, well done!

I give you props man, I polished some of mine while in the bike and man is it a pain in the arse. It definitely takes time and patience. Looks great hope you can keep it looking that way :macho
