Hmmm, I have spare parts, I have way too much free time, I have an air powered dremmel. Hmmmmmmm



I meant to ask you yesterday, but are those pics with the polish applied and everything? I know you aren't all the way done but it will be very shiny correct?

are you just working on the outside of that piece for looks? or are you making the inside smooth as well for easier air intake?

I don't think you should polish it. That grey matte finish looks massively sweet.
