Default Polished fuel rail

I spent about an hour on it and the fuel rail polished up nice: The end shows and you can see some of it below the injector cover. Now to drill and tap for the fuel pressure gauge.

I'm doing the same thing to an intake manifold that I bought about a week ago. I am about 60% done. I had to sand off the casting marks first. Now I'm just polishing the crap out of it. Now that I see your fuel rail, I'll do that also when I put the polished intake manifold in and remove the old one.

When I remove the current intake manifold, I'll polish it also and sell it. So it will basically pay for itself and then some. I paid less than $100 for the additonal intake manifold.
