Polished Aluminum Driveshaft

Polished Aluminum Driveshaft (PICS)

At first it started ou as sanding out the gouges the parking brake cable put on the driveshaft when the welds broke. Then I got a little carried away and now have a shiny driveshaft. I know it wont stay shiny any amount of time but oh well. I spent about 4 hrs on it and the large part of it was getting the gouges out. Heres what caused the gouges and the finished product. Anyone else ever polished their shaft?

"Anyone else ever polished their shaft?"

Personal question, don't you think?

Nice job btw!

Is the shaft out of the older Stang? Want to talk about brakes - how 'bout the front drums on the old one? Now there's some stopping power.....

 

[93 teal terror]

LOL...yeah you cant beat 4 wheel drums....talk about not being able to lock the tires or brakes up. Im sure the 40 year old brake fluid isnt helping either

Should have put up a pole to see how many polish their shaft

Anyone else ever polished their shaft?

Yeah I did!
But only once, and it looks almost the same as it did 2 yrs ago.

I should have figured you did, but I figured youd polish it once a week or so.
Its nice to know that yours is still shiney....maybe I didnt do all that work in vain. I didn't polish the ends of it, mainly cause my hands were about to fall off (no pun intended)

I did everything about 2 yrs ago and haven't really touched anything since if you know what I mean

Don't mind if I do, I'll be right back.

Im not trying to be an ass here but. Whats the point? Who's gonna see it?

 

[Michael Yount]

OCD is spelled G-E-A-R-H-E-A-D. Doesn't matter who sees it - we KNOW it's done right underneath there.

 

[Daggar]

Well that the thing innit? I mean, if people see you polishing your shaft then they laugh at you.... or WORSE!

 

[Michael Yount]

Or they look at you with awe and wonder and secretly hope you stay away from their their wives/girlfriends....

Did I type that?

Not to worry Mike... I don't even know where your girlfriend lives!

 

[Michael Yount]

Yes - but your girlfriend knows where I live, and it's pissing off my wife!!

She's pissing off my wife too! It's damned hard to find a SMART girl on the side.
