heres a photo after I finished the outter primary was just as bad as the inner

how i got into buffing ? started with a hurst shifter handle took me hours to do
then i went to an alternator housing took me even longer then i did an intake manifold on a bb chev took forever to finish that one and then i got hooked and the word went around and started to get jobs coming in.and close to 20 years later i m still here doing it .
don t try to compare your work with someone who is doing it for years .
just compare it to the one you did before that one and see if you improved , if you did you are on the right track ,if not get another part and try again .

I hear ya Baz,
i'm too old to worry about what others think now, I learned a long time ago as long as I'm happy with it that's all that matters .....But theirs always room for improvement!
I have a LOT of people start a computer question with "I know this is going to sound stupid" That is where I cut them off, and tell them the only stupid question is the one that was never asked

Thats probably the nicest Blaster iv'e seen. Right now I'm working on my Suzuki LT250R thats going to be black and orange. Everything on it is aftermarket except for the front hubs and the rad. I'm going to polish the front and rear brake systems, thumb trottle, bumper, nerf bars, handle bars, rad, front and rear shocks, the bead lock rims, most on the engine, and a few other things. The a-arms, axel, pipe and the stering stem are chrome. I hope it turns out nice, it should. Keep up the good work.
