Looks like the parts of mine that I hit with the wire wheel. But the mag tarnishes super fast. Did you spray something on there to protect it, or are you planning on painting it?

I'm just using some basic tools. most of all just hamer and dolley/sandbag but sometimes also the english wheel and shrinker or stretcher! :wink:
