1969 Dodge Dart Swinger clean up
Re-wrapping the battery to starter cable with a tad more correctly textured cloth tape. Not perfect, but better than that shinny vinyl electrical tape.
Starter cable installed to starter solenoid on the new mini starter.
Now to make an attempt at cleaning these neglected things up.
Most things I've read state that you can't get the "blue heat hue" off the chrome. Sounds like a challenge to me.
Starting with the easy, removable, #7 pipe.
Still needs some work, but what we're looking for. Cut and polished on the harder wheel with White compound.
Buffed on the flap wheel with Rouge and then hand wiped with MAAS.
Quick lick with a file shows this center flange needs some work or my next gasket set will just blow out the bottom.
Amazing what you might find inside a header. Brake line adapter rattling around inside while I was polishing.
2.5 hours in. One side almost done where the polishing wheel will reach. The remainder will have to be done with a small dremel wheel. Arms had enough for one afternoon, not light these TTI's !
