The grinder, carrying case, chuck, grinding stones and sanding drums was a total of $20! I plan on starting the sanding/polishing of the intake manifold with it still on the car. I figure I can do about 75% of the work before I will have to remove it to do the final polishing. I'll just crank up the shop vac to catch all of the debris as I go.

 

Great buy sinewave Help out the rest of us with some names/part numbers and such. I want to polish my valve cover and intake manifold this summer, and that $20 sander would save a ton of time over hand sanding. I don't have too much sanding experience, so your comments always help considerably.

Keith, let me know when you'll do it. I want to stop by and have a look see. Another one of your tools I have the potential to "borrow"? OMG...$20? Talk about a steal.

 

I was thinking about going a rough polish on mine and painting it metallic gold with engine enamel and i had this thought. Get one of those wires wheels that mount on drills and use that to polish it down to a decent smoothness and not that shiny then wipe it with like lacquer thinner to clean it good and take it off and put like 5+ coats of paint/primer/top coat. It would probably only take like 4 hours to do and i think it would look hot.

 

xHypex,
The Harbor Freight stock number is 34940. The sale on this thing ends on 5/14. You should be able to find it on their web site.

 

bring it to maxus and set up a stand

 

if you paint it gold... some people might get it confused with the cosmoline that comes on some cars during overseas shipping( like certain BMW's and Mercedes )
