Great job V-Bug!! Some of these old drums really take alot of elbow grease to get them cleaned up...But, it is worth it in the end...This is a prime example of this...

That is spectacular. What did you use on the chrome? (other than the aforementioned elbow grease of course)

1/3 of CLR on 2/3 of warm water on the hardware (Soak it for an hour) ...For the shell 3 baths of Never-dull (Left there overnight and then polished with orbital polisher)...

I can't believe how much of the pitting cleaned up, very cool! Did you put new heads on it and if so, what kind?

Believe it or else!
