I saw them too.  I agree with you.  Prices are way high and I think he'd have better luck selling if everything wasn't all stripped down.

Wow, the ultrasonic really makes the bodies look white, at least in the pics.

Wonder if he has all the spare parts that came with the carbs ?  Seems like a hard way to go, selling bodies for $50/each.

The starting bid is $50 but his Buy It Now price is $200.  :o I think the bead blasting is probably what made them so "white".

I dont think at ultrasonic treatment but at soda-blast striping.

Look at the black air screw for the setup leveling, from black now is white.

The body carbs dont have the original "iridescent" (changing blu/silver)color, tipical of the alloy fusion.
