[Amc-list] Cleaning the 196 intake plate

[Bruce Griffis <bruce.griffis@xxxxxxxxx>]

I got my self back to work on my American. I had previously painted my
intake plate to match the engine. A coat of primer and some blue plate.
Looked snazzy, but the paint started coming up when I leaked gas on it.
Spent some time today stripping it. It's close to where it needs to be -
and some time with a razor and some sandpaper is getting it closer.

Any recommendations for polishing it? Use a dremmel or some such? Not
sure if I want to polish it, or just clean it as the car will be a
driver - but if I were? A dremmel, or some emery cloth and a double shot
of coffee?

Once clean, do I leave it bare metal, or? It's from a 196 OHV and is
aluminum. The car will not be a show car. Hopefully it will be a
grocery-getter, take the dogs and a kid camping car.
