I started with this!!!!

Ended up with this!!

nicely done, now coat it with wax or something

0000 steel wool??

I used "amazing" cleaner from the $ store, a wire brush and a pressure washer!

Steel wool would probably finish it off nicely!

Looks good, I once painted it to match the engine and sanded down the ribs, Good job. maybe some clear coat

I've read if you don't wax/coat it with something that corrosion of a sorts will attach the metal..experts?

"amazing" or "awesome" ? Either way it looks great!

"awesome"

Yep you are right!! Two bottles at $1 each =

Looking good; now paint it gray and don't forget to paint the 1/2 shafts. Mine is a but dirty, but the paint makes it easy to clean.

what type of oil cooler is in this pic?

I heard a story Bout this guy who cleaned it for hours. Then he had it painted with an industrial primer. Then came the black gloss. Now the thing is sitting in the garage like some kind of art. I'm .......ah, he's hinking of pinstripping the thing to match his body color now. Some people just go so over the top.

And the paint add to higher temps too

For corrosion info and some coating info, check out the 31 pages of tranz notes in the link below. You do need to coat it now or it will start to quickly corrode. Once it starts to corrode, you need to remove the corrosion before coating it. PITA. Looks wonderful

What link below??

Here you go.
