I think I gave up on it because: - I did not like the look of the LONG radiator mount - WBodyStore offered a sweet mount/bushing kit on Black Friday The alum. mounts I have would go perfect with the polished dogbones ZZP offers, once I get mine polished of course lol :p |
so i decided to start sanding the mounts :p
after 60, 150, and 220 grit :) it's definitely going to be far from great looking but it should look "ok". This is something you do not want to be doing with just your hands haha A dremel and sanding tips would make this a TON easier! :o as you can see there will be some imperfections here and there but i dont want to spend too much time on them. I'll only be polishing the most visible areas of the mount like the top :p http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/a...F/fd9dfa0d.jpg http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/a...F/538d9607.jpg http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/a...F/683e82a2.jpg up next is 400 grit follow by wetsand 800, 1000 and 2000 grit haha then the polishing :cool: |
