Mine!

now... use your imagination here! THis is what mine looked like shortly after I brought it home... That's not blue paint, that's annodized! BELIEVE me, there is nothing harder to get off aluminum than annodizing... After trying several different methods, I settled on OVEN CLEANER... 20 CANS of it! It eats through the aluminum, and then you can pressure wash the residue off.. What a mess. You can't really sand it, and you definitely can't polish it! Even today, as I start working the aluminum, I run across patches where the annodized finish is still slightly there... just to keep me busy, I guess....

Pics, pics, pics....
