amazing restoration!
i have access to a bead blaster at work, just wondered what the process after that would be to get my rearsets / other metal parts to that standard? anyone have any suggestions??
also my exhaust needs some serious loving too, what the polishing process involved in that, i have a wire wheel to get the majority of crud off, but again unsure what to do after..
can anyone offed me some advice??thanks in advance!

I used a wire wheel on mine and 3M scotch pads on a die grinder for the hard to reach places. Came up nice.
