I've got a Tunnel Hunt I'm working on, and the shaft is horribly rusted. Originally it was chromed.
The idea is to start off with sandpaper and slowly work my way to a finer and finer grit until it's smooth. Then I'll plate it with zinc and polish that to a mirror finish.
I was thinking about securing the shaft down, then using a strip of sandpaper and going back and forth. Ideally I'd like to put it in a lathe or something to spin it on, but it's bent at a slight angle.
Ideas?
