Message	It's Edmonton Z Car Club annual club show time again! So grabbed a bundle of nasty old VG30 old pistons This year, instead of hand polishing the carboned-up old things, I took them to my powdercoater, who let me play with his new media blasting cabinet 5 minutes in the cabinet per piston. Last year it took 2 hours to clean and polish by hand and the results were.... OK better than new It's an aluminum oxide powder/water blaster cabinet... I think I want one. Leaves a smooth, soft finish. Some JB Weld to firm the piston up Drill for base mount Tap for the base screw Like so: Bases are made from kayu batu hardwood leftovers from my front porch and balcony decking... super hard wood with cedar weathering properties. Easy to work with and looks great with some stain. Now we need some club logos and plaques for each category production line Ready for show! Cheers,
