SRX 700 summer project

I got the tunnel sanded with 1500 and then 2500 and then i polished it. I used mothers mag and aluminum polish on the tunnel. I used my hands and a cotton t-shirt. I think it came out pretty good for the first time.

It aint goin on a show room floor.lol
 
Thanks EVERYONE for the support! The color theme of the sled i think is going to be blue, black, and polished aluminum! That is for now at least till I decide to change my mind. If anyone has any suggestions of what to make the color theme let me know please.
 
Are you leaving tunnel raw and will be re-polishing as needed or can you clear coat it for ease of maintance? A buddy just pick up a ski dont that the stripped and polish 5-6 years ago and looks like hell now. Was thinking about doing my 99 srx 700 but dont want to HAVE to polish it all the time.
 
Ive never heard of putting a clear coat on the tunnel but im going to just leave it raw and polish it when needed. The hardest part of this whole thing is getting it stripped and polished for the first time. After that you can just go over it with a rag and polish. If you have any more questions let me know and I will help you out to the best of my ability.
 
I quickly polished the belt guard.

The middle pipe has a quick polish job on it.

The Right side belly pan had a hole in it so I had a peice of thin aluminum and patched it. It looks good enough for my liking.

Nice, nice, work. Seeing your project now i cant wait to start mine. Your very lucky to have such a great resource to guide you through this. Cant wait to see the end product.
 
Nice little patch but the top rivots will wear into the pipe.I would make it a little longer and cover the rest of the melted area,

Looks Great! I wish I was as ambitious on my projects as you are. Mine just tend to sit there and not do themselves lol

Thanks for the compliment, I know that I would not be able to do this by my self. Thanks to all of you guys with your support and help.
 
Let me know when you guys figure out what all you need for parts and I'll see what I have, also if you want to go with the black theme i do have a black skidplate for sale if you are interested in adding one

x2, Josh, for that patch you should probably put the rivets down through from the inside instead of up through from the outside. you'll ever see the underside anyways.
