Doing My Own Polishing, Saving $$>TB, ATI, Valve Covers, Water Pump, etc. Pics>

Thought I would share some pics of the items I polished so far.

Bought the equipment, a "how to" video, and went to it.

I can not tell you how pleased I am with the results and the savings.

All I need to do now is finish things up and get everything back on the car, lol.

My goal is to have one of the best engine compartments that is clean, neat, and that shines.

Most of all I am very proud that I've done 99% of all of my mod installs myself. Makes me feel great. Many hours of work.

Hope you enjoy!!

"How to Polish"

Here is a link to a little write up I did...

Ask any specific questions you may have, I am always willing to help out.

I am dying to get my engine compartment put back together.

Thanks for the compliments.
