ROWBOAT MOTOR MUFFLER

I FINALLY GOT SOME TIME THIS WEEKEND TO WORK ON THE ROWBOAT MOTOR SO I CLEANED UP THE MUFFLER AND DID SOME WORK ON THE TANK. (I WILL DISCUSS THE TANK IN A LATER POST.)
WHEN POLISHING BRASS AND ALUMINUM I SAND WITH 80, 120, 180, 220, 320, 400, AND THEN 800 GRT SANDPAPERS. THEN I BUFF UNTIL SHINY AND POLISH. I TOOK A FEW PICS THROUGHOUT THE DAY TO SHOW THE PROGRESS I MADE.

SANDED UP TO 220GRT

BUFFED

CLEANED AND POLISHED.

AS YOU CAN SEE IT IS HEAVILY DENTED. I HAVEN'T  FOUND A REPLACEMENT YET SO I WENT AHEAD AND RESTORED IT. I THINK I AM GOING TO ADD THIS PART TO THE "PARTS I WANT" PAGE AND SEE IF I CAN FIND A BETTER ONE.

I AM GETTING SOMEWHAT CLOSE TO FINISHING IT. I THINK IT WILL NEED A MONTH OR TWO YET BUT I WILL TRY TO UPLOAD SOME PICTURES OF THE WHOLE THING HERE SOON.
