I saw an article on this a good while back and grinding on my set while
the motor was at the machine shop. Any way check the one I finished
versus the one to be completed.

Ok, I posted wrong spot I guess. Should have tried detailing maybe?

Hey it looks good. What did you use to smooth it up? I'd like to do mine and paint them a nice gray hi temp paint.

I used a 4 inch makita angle grinder to get all the major bumps off. Then
a dremel tool in the hard to reach areas. Then meadia blasted in some
areas with aluminum oxide. Plus some sanding with 150 grit. I was a lot
of work. But hey you got to pass the winter some how.

Cool! I had mine done too. Then we thermal coated them...

That is sweet. I did wonder about that. But wasn't sure if those folks would
want to do old stuff. Anyway that looks wonderful.

I guess you could call that a Golden Ram! Sure is smooth.
