Put a buffing wheel on my old 6" bench grinder and got busy last night between welding stints...

please use all the saftey equipment when buffing... i did that off and on for G.E. for 24 years... nasty for your lungs... we looked like racoons when we took off the dust masks...

Nice! That can be very time consuming. Well done. It's been too cold around here to paint and I started buffing one of my featherweights also. I know what Smitty is talking about, because at the end of the day I certainly had a funny metallic taste in my mouth.

WONDER IF SHINY IS FASTER THAN PAINT...

I keep telling people that bald is where it's at.
Thanks for the reinforcement!

I qualify as folically challenged...

Well, it's not only lighter, but more aerodynamic.

Those cars are Terminator shiny! Very nice Jobe. That's a mean lookin' bunch of feather weights.

very cool. Once the weather warms up you should hit them with some candy colors!

Very cool. They look like those cars you seen auctioned off for stupid amounts of money. But yeah, agree with Jason that when you drop some lacquer on them they should look pretty sweet.

Yeah, I plan on trying some spectraflame type paint jobs. And it's amazingly simple to polish them out, just takes a little time.
