    You're welcome! When you talked about safety with the grinding wheel, that reminded me of when I was using a table saw and it chucked a stud right into my gut! It knocked the wind out of me!

    That's looks a hell of a lot better and easier than me using a darn dremel all the time lol. Nice work

    Excellent tips and work.
    (I'm not even a toy car collector yet find these restoration videos entertaining. That said, who knows? Maybe one day I'll do a few special cars for my thirty-year-old son and future grand kids, or commission someone else to do them instead.)

    No its the same as it always was.... I was testing the fit and forgot it was there... You have a sharp eye!!

    I always hold the body by a post with vise-grips. Heat is good when polishing. Pros preheat aluminum to get a good polish.

    Awesome tutorial! I noticed you left the window in, did the window turn that color through the process?

    Should I try this polishing if I’m using spectraflame or creatx transparent paint?

    Will a buffing wheel on the Dremel work (well 2 separate ones) with the compounds?

    Is it possible to color this metal with heat, like steel?

    • @baremetalHW
      @baremetalHW  5 лет назад +1

    Would a rotary rock tumbler work to polish car bodies ? My guess is the vibratory tumbler would work best , but the noise level is an issue for me .

    • @GuardrailBandit
      @GuardrailBandit 7 лет назад

      J Recio Yes but it Takes A VERY long time, so you can use fine sandpaper

      Now that you’re 4 years older than when you left this comment, do you still find it as boring or can you appreciate the valuable information that is presented? I’m just curious.
