Thanks for all of the comliments fellas! Well....I bought this used off of ebay and only paid $175.00 for it....so...I got a really good deal on it.....First.....I used my "wizard rotary tool" on it....to get most of the cast look off. Then....used 180 all the way up to 1500 grit sand paper. Then.....hand polished it with Mothers Aluminum Polish.......I'm really happy with the results. You really don't see to man people with polished TB's....so..I thought I'd try it!
