Yep, they all cleaned up pretty good. I had one point where the guide roller fell off and the bit clogged up but it's all good. I have no issues with installing them on my rig.angles, shmangles.....you can do 20* 45* or 60* and none will look any worse than another it's just how uniform the pair is to each other.
eastwood has some cool flapper wheels for the aluminum. not near as rough as a sanding disk, just a few pieces of scratch paper with scotch brite between........work real good for light scratch work on any raw aluminum.Yep, they all cleaned up pretty good.

I used some 2" scotch brite pad to clean them up with my die grinder. And then some paint should help to cover up my little bobo's.eastwood has some cool flapper wheels for the aluminum. not near as rough as a sanding disk, just a few pieces of scratch paper with scotch brite between........work real good for light scratch work on any raw aluminum.

Something I should point out to others that might be reading this thread at some point. A LOT of the things I'm doing here I've never done before. Like using a router, this was my first time doing this so I made mistakes. If you're working on your rig and it's new don't be afraid to attempt it. Yes ask questions and watch videos on How To Do what you're going to attempt but don't let the fact that you've never done it before stop you. And yes you might make some mistakes or screw stuff up but most times it can be fixed. And I'm no fabricator or even close so I try to ask questions and see how others have tackled a problem.
We had snow falling Saturday and Sunday 60s on Monday 70s Tuesday and 80s today... Well be back to 60 and 50s by Saturday... Mother Nature is being a tad schizophrenic this spring!Right now the forecast has Tuesday and Wednesday being warmer than 70⁰. So I'm hoping to being able to get the frame painted those days. I'll also get the armor primered but won't try spraying body colors yet.
Only LS in the world our sweet sweet 4.0s outperformsYep cause if they ever deliver it, it will have plenty of torque.
That's funny right there.Only LS in the world our sweet sweet 4.0s outperforms
Weather is supposed to be in the upper 70's today so I've been getting things ready for painting.
No joy yet. It's only 62⁰ right now and I've got the doors open trying to get the heat inside the garage.
Might have to close the doors and turn on the heaters.
Im not a pro painter, but I'd say heat up the paint in some hot water or in front of heater and send it, times ticking, it'll start getting cooler again in like 4 hours!
