How to polish aluminum classic car parts - polished 1955 chevy radiator assembly explained

In this video I will be demonstrating how to take raw aluminum unfinished parts (in this case an autorad radiator that was custom built for a 1955 Chevy) disassemble them, secure them, and polish them to a mirror finish. the ideas I'm sharing on polishing these parts can be used on nearly any custom car project that involves are there cast, billet, or just unfinished raw aluminum. I've also included some of the technical aspects of polishing including moving your heat, different speeds to run for different compounds, etcetera.
