Hello again, haven't posted in a while so thought that it would be a good idea to give an update.  I have recently retired from my job of 30 years and now get to spend all day at home in my shop blasting parts for customers and working on old Fords, which is as wonderful as it sounds.  The pay is much worse, but life is certainly better.

Anyway, wanted to remind everyone about the service for those who need it. 

Feel free to PM or email with any questions.

Thanks,
Bobby

It's been a couple years since I've updated this post, but have had many of you send me work, which I appreciate. Here's a photo of some '65 GT350 parts that I finished today.

Hey Bobby, just wondering how this process would work on valve covers or intakes and any cast aluminum piece that had been previously bead blasted?

On diecast parts like CJ valve covers, distributor housing, and fuel pumps it depends on how rough the previous blasting was and what media was used. If glass beads were used, the colors and sheen can be restored, but the surface will not be quite as smooth as when new. Previous blasting on rough surfaces like intake manifolds doesn't hurt anything.
