OrangeCrush is an unknown quantity at this point

To make it fit, I cut across every second rib and cut out about 3/8" of material. Then I bent the plate at a much steeper angle. The cut came a further distance towards the rear of the plate than where it was bent from the factory.

It was then tig-welded and polished.

As far as a "quickie" polish, the plate had never been polished before. I used some coarser jewelers rouge (sp?)and put it on a buffing wheel. It was a PIA since the wheel is mounted on a permanent fixture so therefore I had to keep moving the plate around.... very difficult when you have to sit on the ground and hold it by hand.

BRB, gotta get a pic of it.



Okay, you can see how hard it would be to manipulate the plate around.

Anyway, I said quickie cause it took me about 2 hours to polish it. If I were to do it the way I'd normally polish it, the plate would have taken another 3 hours.
