            Went to Princess Auto and picked up a couple of ratchet straps for $2 each.

            One done.Things keep wandering passed the buffer wheels round here

            All nice and shiny.Even have damping,adjusters work as well.Really wish we could rebuild these.

                That's a great idea, was wondering how to do that. Getting there Greg, at least this crap weather is good for something. So how exactly did you keep the paint off the lettering?

                                Greg, that is gonna be one shiny skunk, nice work there.
                                Old Yella is going to have just as pretty stable mate.

                                    Flyboy...I like your avatar ... is this the rhino you're talking about?

                                        Good job hand polishing. When the grid goes out here (rarely) I put the moves on the wife (which works as rarely...)

                                            Hoping all these will be OK silver.

                                                Get some WIZARDS POWER SEAL and rub it into the bolts real well. Let it dry and wipe off. This stuff will prevent corrosion and rust for many many many moons.

                                                    I've never heard of this wizards stuff. Where would one purchase it from?
