At the Saint Augustine rally everyone's engine bays were looking so good I decided to keep working on mine. I still have a long way to go to catch up. One piece at a time. About two weeks ago I pulled out the throttle body and started on it. I started off with a file smoothing out the casting lines and the part number. Then 120 sand paper, then 360, 600, 800 then on to the polishing. It's so small and hard to get to most of it I did with a Dremel tool. Finished it this morning and put it back in.

I stopped keeping track after the first few days. My guess would be 12 to 15 hours. When I polished the supercharger on my lightning 10 years ago I kept track of my hours every day on a calendar. I was amazed by the time I was finished I was at 240 hours.
