I love my copper oil lines. I also just ordered these Brass Knurled Push Rod Covers to go at the top portion of the push rods. They will be needing a little aging though. Luckily, I got just the stuff to darken them up a little bit.

A dilute sulfuric acid does the trick. There are also pre mixed patina agents that you can buy.

I may give that a try. Those pipes are just a little too shiny new for me. I know that all chrome plate has copper plate underneath, but I had no idea that scotch brite was all it takes to take it off. Thanks for the tip.
