    I have no problem with the theory that all men are created equal.
    But after that moment you are on your own and nobody owes you a damn thing.

    Nice. I really gotta get me a blasting cabinet and a real air compressor. It's great stuff doing cool little projects like that.

    Eric, yes I got the rivets and thank you very much. The make a much better look then the rivets I had (with a hole in the center).

    911sc, I used WD40. I have read that one can get some color back if faded with shoe polish and also a guy used 1500 grit sand paper with WD40 to make it nice and black/shiny again.

    Looks great! Fine steel wool does a nice job on the wire loom as well.
