[DeTomaso] polish ZF cost estimate

[Boyd Casey]

Well, if I may, I would like to broaden the scope of this question.
1. an estimate of a fair price to polish an fully assembled ZF dash -2 (
and bell housing) while completely removed from the Pantera?
2. If there is a risk or danger to the Dash-2  posed by polishing  it while
it is assembled? ( but removed from the car)
3. If there are any steps one can take to reduce or eliminate the risks of
polishing an assembled ZF?

Thanks,
Boyd

   Well, if I may, I would like to broaden the scope of this question.
   1. an estimate of a fair price to polish an fully assembled ZF dash -2
   ( and bell housing) while completely removed from the Pantera?
   2. If there is a risk or danger to the Dash-2 A posed by polishing A it
   while it is assembled? ( but removed from the car)
   3. If there are any steps one can take to reduce or eliminate the risks
   of polishing an assembled ZF?
   Thanks,
   Boyd

   additional while the ZF was already apart for rebuild, so likely does
