Well, A board member brought me his Shelby diff cover and asked me to work my magic.
It's a nice cover, but dang it's ROUGH and has quite a bit of porosity and some silly angles!

Here are some before pics:

I finished the cover a bit ago with trying to find time to work on it.
I'm not super happy with it. The part had a lot of porosity problems and it was totally pissing me off, especially how nice the part could be if it didn't have the problem! DAMMIT!

Here's it all resurfaced and parts ground and wet sanded. No buffing yet.

Here's it buffed out and polished. I'll prolly let it sit in the sun tomorrow to bake before the owner picks it up.

I took this so the Shelby logo comes out well.
