Well i just started really polishing my HO manifold so i can have it done before the engines built I'am also polishing my IDI cover and fuel rail and lines should look pretty good with the bronze head.
Just keep in mind i just started on this today.
First the color of the head.
The manifold
Should have a few more pics tomorrow.
Looks good! How many hours into the mainfold so far?

i cant wait for all of ours to be done.. but of course SOME of us are way far behind
god paul, you could have my cover done in like 30 mins, its like the ultimate perfect shape, nice n flat!!!! take an orbital sander with like 800-2000 grit paper to it for a few mins, then hit the bastard with the buffer wheel and it would be PERRRRFECT!

You have no need for this!
Looking good ! I truly do appreciate how much work it is to do this.
What has been your method/process so far on that HO so far?
- the last so far. lol I just woke up.
very nice! i like the color on the motor also
nice polish job, looks good
Couple helpful suggestions for polishing.
Use a dremel with a medium grit the fine grit then buffing wheel for in between the plenums.
When you get to the last stage. Use mothers polishing buff it out, then use 2000 grit then polish again with mothers and keep repeating until is a mirror.
it will look like this if you follow that process.
Those pix were all just before i finished it... i ended up removing the letters and getting it to have zero imperfections. Unfortunately i did not get any pix
you should consider trying a polish with a wax in it. Mothers works great but it has a karoseen in it and will strip any waxes out if it is waxed. And if you leave it with just the mothers it will corrode. Use a jewlers rouge or something like that. White would be the best finish with the jewlers rouge.

so iam thinking about putting a transparent paint over it after its all polished.
Jesse photoshopped the color in for me just to get an idea.
What do you think.
Iam really leaning towards this one but we'll see.
We need some votes people. I modified the pic. Just say what number you think he should go with.
And I guess Pink will have to be number 6.......
