The brake pedals come as thick blanks with the lightening holes already punched out. All the edges are really rough, and while I was able to finish teh outside edges on the #m wheel, teh lightening holes presented a problem. I did one by hand with some 120 grit sandpaper, but it took quite a while to get it looking decent, so I caved and made a quick trip to Ace for some small 120 grit sanding drums for my dremmel, which made short work of the rest of them. Finished with red scotch bright then countersunk and assembled per print. I had originally planned to paint these with rustoleum hammered tool box paint, but it's been to cold to paint outside, and I have been putting off building a paint booth solution, so I ended up just polishing them with a 1" green scotch bright wheel on a dotco. Came out really pretty, and I might think about just clear coating these and leaving them this way. If not, I can always go the rustoleum route later.
