Default Re: Stainless Radiator Shell Polishing Hints and Experiences Request

Boy . i am reading all these post with WARNINGS , with chances of catching the parts in the buffer and twisting the piss out of the now ,,not be able to use part anymore ? A lot of SLOW WORKING TIME [DON'T RUSH] , KNOWLEDGE [picking , filing ,heating, welding sanding , a CHANCE OF SOME OF YOUR OWN BODY DAMAGE [WRIST , EYES ,FINGERS] ... I would like to do everything on the restoration of my "A"s but when it comes to having the correct TOOLS, TIME , 40 YEARS OF KNOWLEDGE OF STAINLESS STEEL restoration work i leave it to the PRO'S. [NOT MANY] . I just receive my Headlights , cowl lights , cowl band and a radiator shell on the way [on exchange or bought outright] .Are you ready for it...here it comes,,, Doug Bruce. might not make everybody happy but for the MOST part MOST Very happy... At this point of time i can't afford to lose the loss of a eye or a finger or what ever....time lost on my JOB. [ Doug has 4 shells done 2-1930- and 2 ,1931..] at a normal shell restoration takes 30 to 40 hours to do... 1930 shell $675.00 that's $17.00 per hour.... at 40 hours... Please find me anyone at that price or cheaper for the risk.. 1931's $750.00 a shell harder to find.
