This is one view on the worked that i am starting. This is the first step. Brush shine. Next will be sanding down to 2000. Then buf and polish. What do you guys think?

You can also look at my new sticker that adds ~36 HP. Also you can see i got the Ingalls ETD.





Hear are some picturs of the second step in polishing the valve cover. I sanded it down from 360 top 800 then to 1500. I might go to 2000 but I think I can polish out the rest. It looks ok and it is really smoth. All I need to do know is polish it will a tip on my die grinder.

 

Looks good man!

 

X2 Agreed!

 

car looks nice...how that dampner working for ya?

 

Looks good, might have to follow suit

 

stage2 right? look great polished, what is the word on the ETD?> good or bad vibes

 

Gee I know that pulley from somewhere!! Looks good!

 

how did you do that? did you do it by hand or with some kind of tool? what is a brush shine? im sorry to fire so many questions in a row but i have some discoloration on my SC and i want to know what you did. oh yea how that ingalls brace? any bad vibes? thanks

 

i used steal wool on mine... worked pretty good id have to say im going to try a brillow pad like attachment on the dremel and some aluminum polish i have

 

Grate. I have no wheel hop at all anymore. Once I took out the washers and tightened it up to 10 it has been working flawlessly.

 

Yes it is stage 2. ETD works grate dose not really cause any bad vibes.

 

I first used a steal brush on the end of the power drill. that is the first pictures that you see. I then took 360 wet san paper to it to level it. The I went up to 800 wet for another 3 passes. Then I went to 1500. After 3 passes with 1500 I would polish with a metal polish and soft rag.

When my fingers heal from all the sanding I will use my die grinder and some polishing tips to polish it to mirror finish.

I will post pics of the finish of the 1500 sanding soon.

 

Keep up the good work man! Great idea you've convinced me to do the same!

 

Looks nice. Good job.

 

Thats beautiful! Can't wait to see the finish product!

 

that looks really good.....might have to do that to mine

 

hear are some pics of the final buf on the valcover. Know all I have to do is sand and buf the SC.

 

looks GREAT!
i cant say enough. though if i could be so bold i see a spot right by the oil cap you missed dont get me wrong i think you have vastly improved the look of your enginge bay! wher did you fint the 800 and the 1500 sandpaper? the best ive found is wet 600!?!
what did the attachment for the intial sanding look like? i know im prolly bugging you but i want to get a similar look for my SC. Thanks a ton dude and again WOW that looks so much better than stock!

 

Ya, I did not get around the oil cap yet. I will have to take the oil cap off and tape the hole closed and then buff out the rest. Car quest has a body supply shop inside. They have all that you need. If you do not have a car quest then go to any auto body parts store and you will find the wet sandpaper you need. For the buffing you will need to go to Sears and get a Dermal and a buffing kit. I also recommend getting the blue high polish stick the red compound also works good too.. After that you will need to get some type of metal polish. You should be good to go after that.

Hear is a picture of all the stuf I used.

 

you are the greatest! i couldnt have asked for a better answer!

 

Pretty slick looking! I like that a lot.

 

I started on mine tonight with some 220 grit sandpaper...im not even close to done...the super charger is going to be a pain in the ass with just sandpaper

 

i like these too. think it would look nice with your polish. click link

Ya I have started on my SC also but like you said it will be tough with just sandpaper but that is the only way to go. If you try some type of griding it will just leave marks that you will have to sand out. As for the cover I think that it looks good. I might go with something like that or I will have it candy blue powder coated.

 

Looks awesome. It looks like is has a spaceship engine now.
