Some teaser, bill- you said "I have a way to polish the bore instead of honing, much better for the alloys". Sounds worth repeating- will you give us 'the...

So sorry about the details, I use a 1" cotton swab, actually its a tire soap applicator. Any good metal polish can be used, I use "wet one" which is a...
Surprise (at least for me): "Glasswork: Repairing and Restoring Fiberglass Sports Cars", on page 108-113 (lots of pictures). It's identified as a '59, but...
