I pretty much have it all polished out.. I need now to get a new grinder buffing wheel for rougue, gold sterling etc.. And Shine it up the rest of the way, this has been by hand.. I need to get a wheel on my Sr Plenum to get it all shined back up..

haha.. Ok that picture did not do justice.. But I can get the drive shaft pretty Nice.. Once I buy the new polishing wheel and the stuff to rougue..

Once I have all my polishing tools.. I can polish out driveshaft's that are in well condition.. This one I have hear I bought from Red Rocket, It was near Brand New..

When the heads come off.. I will have time to Polish out my Plenum on The Super Ram.. Gene says it should Shine like the lid it used to.. So I seen what I can do with the drive shaft.. I know the next Time You see SR it will be looking much better.. Gene has a few other chrome Pieces I need to get.. I'll have some Steel Braided Line's on most hoses that have fluids..


Randy.. Im sure it would take some time to get a Base Polished out.. You would have to spend all the time smoothing everything Down.. How about Polish out your SR.. I know if all goes well with my Polishing Im going to do My Runner's..

Yeah Maybe So.. But if I have to maintain appearance with the Super ram.. A lil clean up of the driveshaft.. Wont hurt.. I want to clean up the underneath of the car.. Fix some leaks..

If u do the pushrods, u have to go all the way.
You should have him polish the valve springs and roller rockers as well.

would it not be easier to just install the driveline, kick the rear wheels off of the grounds and drop that tranny into gear. Thatll spin the drive line up and all you would have to do is hold a polishing rag to it. i believe i see a yellow one in the pic.

Brandon, word of advise to you ... to keep it looking great and easy to clean, have it coated with a clear coat, either powder coated or painted on. Looks nice, I wouldn't do it, but it does look nice.

I basically did it to brighten Mikes day.. Letting him know.. Im taking care of the parts I bought from him.. As they are some very nice item's.. To do this polishing, it did not take long.. So if you want to keep your stuff clean.. What's the big deal you know..
This will need maintance just as rims of course.. However it is a good thought to take off the drive line and check the pinion bolt.. This is something that should be checked before you Race etc..
The clearcoat could work out.. Good Idea Gpl.. However I still need to clean this up a lil more..

The rag on the driveline with the wheels turning is an idea.. But however the Saftey Concern..
