    After three more hours. Still have a little more polishing to do, but you get the idea.... thinking about getting it chrome plated so i wont have to keep polishing it.

    Awesome! I was just thinking about the carb nut you made years ago.
    That was great as well.

    Did the final polishing and made the line down the center larger and deeper.
