step 5 - more sanding, better tool

So I got the rest of the tank done. I switched over to a RotoZip with a Nylon polishing pad and that seemed to do really well against the tank. I wouldn't be able to use that on the plastic parts because its too powerful for plastic, but it works great on metal.

I attempted to get the head piece sanded a little with the power sander but that just proved to be a hassle and not very effective.

Im gonna need that sandblaster to get that and the rest of those tiny hard to reach spots in the other plastic pieces.

We got some tougher grit media for the little sand blaster that we have here, so i'll try that tomorrow and see if that does anything.

Meanwhile, time to start on the designs. I've been putting that off and now its time to start messin' with it.

I got in some of the parts so Im excited to get them on. The spikd bar ends came in, I got the spiked windshield bolts, & the K&N Air Filter. Now I just need that new tail piece and I'll ve ready to roll.
