July 24, 20177 yr Author comment_526479 Cunifer tubing shines up bright with a little steel wool. Not silver but but very bright in comparison to the stock finish.

July 24, 20177 yr comment_526501 I just heard that E.D. pills will do the same thing. Hmmm. Maybe it's not the pills. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50908-1976-280z-restoration-project/?&page=120#findComment-526501 Share on other sites More sharing options...

July 24, 20177 yr comment_526524 Something to think about, will polishing make your tubing too stiff? You may not be able to bend it until later on, just saying.......... Way too many bad joke possibilities here and since I don't need much of a lead I'll just be quiet now .

July 24, 20177 yr comment_526530 OK, I'm gonna try to be serious about your tube.... No puns... promise. Did you buy or make the tool for straightening the tubing? This is the one with five wheels. It works like a charm. You might want to buy, borrow, or steal one.

July 25, 20177 yr Author comment_526536 I am going to make the same one Grannyknot made for his build. Super simple. He ended up using hand bends for most of it though. Just the bottom frame rail section is the most obvious.

Basically the mechanical stresses result in local hardening of the material being worked. And worked. And worked. Honestly, I tried to keep quiet, but it's like Roger Rabbit...
