polishing

I have begun to polish the engine covers, this may seem like a wrong thing to do more like a finishing detail, but my idea behind it is 1. I have no money, and polishing cost me nothing, so why wait 2. it is easier to do it right the first time then to have to take it back off after it has the gaskets back on it 3. don't judge me, I don't know what I'm doing any how.  Cahill has the wiring harness and is testing that rat's nest to see what can be salvaged, it contains things like the turn signals which are not being reused, and other nick knacks that we are deciding whether or not to keep, (measure twice cut once). He also has the carb, and is checking to see if he thinks it needs to be rebuilt, I think it looks OK, but Cahil has done more of this than I have.  We took the motor out, and the thing got real messy.  My garage has not been this messy in a long time, but it feels good to be working on it again after almost a year off.  I have the angle grinder and am planning on chopping off the mounts for the highway bars, found some clip ons to fit, but i'm out of cash right now, so they will have to wait for now, gaskets come first and exaust.  We got alot of work ahead, look for more pics (after I find my camera)
