They look good and I am putting some more coats on tomorrow. There are 4 coats of clear as on now.
I want to do a few more.
Here is the link for the clear...

I am only doing about 5 total man. That is not gonna hurt htem at all.
I do lots of finishing work and have enough experience to know when to stop.
Didn't i tell you that I am a finisher/restorer by trade and my father owned a custom rod shop for 12 years.
:bigok: I got it covered man.. thanks for looking out for me.

i am up for doing pipes if anyone is interested. i will not charge you an arm or a leg either. i get pissed on parts like that LIM that dave did, so do not ask. if you want some **** done, just shoot me a pm, and i will get you a $. i use a bench grinder/converted buffing wheel, dremmel, hands, and rouges as well. i also cleared some pieces a few months ago....and they are still holding up. i will take some pics if anyone is interested. i should say that 'TTT' was my inspiration......and DAVE, i am not trying to take any potential business from you, i just like the practice....
I don't mind polishing parts from time to time for people but
I can think of alot easier ways to make soe cash than polishing cast alluminum.
As you well know it is time consuming.
There are enough shitty looing UIM's and whatnot to go around man.
Dont feel bad..

Honeslty I dont want to polish parts for people anymore. Cause everytime that I quate a price people think I ma trying to rip them off.
It's alot of work and not worth my time if you dont want to pay me what I ask. I get payed alot more at work to do less difficult things.
So ask one of the other guys to do it. I don't see how you guys can do the work for so cheap.
