stclark04 Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 meat heads skills are unreal, i just bought a polished clutch cover from him. it looks like chrome.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NugShee Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 If you have patience you can do it with great success. take your time and it will come out just like chrome. I have done lots of mine and am getting ready to do the hardest part, the carbs. With the carbs I have to make my own felt bobs to get into the tiny areas. I cant find any small enough around here or on the net. meathead did a great tutorial but I think all the pictures are gone now. If you have any questions at all just ask and Im sure many of us would be happy to help you out. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ DESERT RACER Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I know acetone works for polishing. I polished my clutch cover but can't remember what type of scraper i used, maybe a soft wire brush or steel wool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NugShee Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 so lets see how many polishable things on the shee can you come up with. I know the basics but some of the parts may be steel and cant be polished. I didnt think the kickstarter could be polished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee04le Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 This is currently in shipping transit on its way to me from my best friend Meat_Head . He cut me a sweet deal. It's a 4mil 421 cheetah kit and, well...just look at it. You snooze you lose boys. It's all about siezing the day and taking advantage of the opportunitys that present themselves. Better luck next time. You will no doubt be seeing more pics of this beauty. What? Matching polished cases you say? I got em'! Meat_Head is currently the coolest dude on the planet.
