heads and cylinders came back from polishing... I used Mirror Finish Polishing | Metal Polishing & Buffing Services |
I have attached some before and after pictures.. honestly they did a good job but not worth the 1200.00 I spent to get them polished. I would have just used someone local.. many spots missed and they don't show this on their website.. see attached

They did a good job, they missed on a few spots so I don't honestly think I would use them again. On the pricey side. No shit when I got them I started polishing them with my dremel. It could be my OCD acting up. Need to get them out to diamond cut.Very nice looking Paul...:2thumbs:

I agree, but I am way compulsive. I just wanted to let people know that I think they are overpriced... I sent the cases off and some other parts to a shop in la. They only charged 175.00.

So engine case is on the way back from polishing. Used a different shop for this.
Triple trees are done being re chromed and will post pics once I get them back.
Sent the heads and cylinders off to diamond cut tonight.
Slowly it starting to move along... More pics to follow

It's called the polishing shop. It's in Oxnard ca. Older gentleman named David. Doesn't accept credit cards. Still waiting to see the results

Triple trees came back from sport chrome. I am really pleased with their work and prices are great. They do quality chroming and the parts come back vacuum packed.

Cases polished
received the cases today from the polishing shop located in Oxnard Ca. VERY PLEASED with their work and their price. Really makes me wonder why I didn't sent them the whole engine to polish. oh well I would use this shop again in a heartbeat. Don't waste your money sending anything to Mirror Finish Polishing | Metal Polishing & Buffing Services |.
See attached. Waiting on the head and cylinders to come back from diamond cut.. getting excited to get this thing back together.. and want to get some pics of putting it back together...

I agree, I even called the owner to say what a great job he did. He charged me 175.00 for the entire block... Compared to 1200 for mirror polishing. I called them and all they said was send them back for re polishing? Wtf??? I want to let people know how bad they suck!!!Wow, thats purdy...
However I would like to recommend the polishing shop owner David located in Oxnard ca to anyone who like metal to shine.
