Always been a huge fan of this car... I am going to have to look into polishing the supercharger on mine, that looks incredible.
Which tools/polishing bits were used for the job? And is there no way it could be done in place, with a vacuum near the action to collect any particles?
Cheers,

I tried to have it done that way at first, but when I cunsulted with a professional polisher he said that the best results would be from taking it out. After taking it to him he said it was too heavy to hold up to his machine. So, we took it apart and each section of the supercharger was polished by hand. Not sure if hand held devices can get you the same results. I am no expert in the polishing department
BTW, before having it polished I carefully taped all openings and ports to protect the core of the supercharger.

My car was featured in DUB magazine, April 2012. They wrote a very nice 3 page article on my project. Wanted to share a few of the photo's from the shoot. Thanks for the support that you all have been giving me. I remember sharing and learning with most of you since the introduction of this chassis. Good times indeed!
Nice!!!

Wow, your car is nuts. So much attention to detail everywhere, amazing job!
The trunk install and doors and custom interior look great. So does the engine bay. The '55' is a nice touch.
The carbon fiber trim - does it look like it does in the photo because it is glossy and reflecting all the lights or is it like "white carbon fiber"?
