That looks really good. I'm tempted to do the same but it takes so long.

It doesn't take as long as you guys think, I actually like making things shine. Took maybe 4 and a half hours for both, but I still wanna buff it up a little more.

yea, combination of a bad picture and could use a little more work for sure. I will probably get bored and keep sanding and polishing the **** out of it. Still doesn't look bad at all considering what the sc looked like stock

oh for sure! you can't really see the valve cover that well but if it was brighter in my garage you would see it is a mirror finish.

All it is, is sanding and polishing with 'never dull' for me. I used a drill end polishing bit. I'll do yours no charge since suckmybalts is a scamming *****.
oh, and a dremel works great for the creases and crevices you can't get by hand. Like I said Idk if this is my latest picture, not sure if I'm done yet

did you put a poly insert in your motor mount? hard to believe you kept the stock one and just polished it.
