Lightbulb deep porting

okay i have been playing with port and polishing my upper intake. Before i take a crack at the intake on my car i have been practicing on a junk one. But everytime i work on it i stare into the intake and see all the rough sides and bumps just out of the reach of my grinder. any ideals to port really deep into my upper intake. My bggest fear is not being able to see and messing it up real bad but i am more worried about doing a half *** job.

What kind of tool are you using for your porting? I use a die grinder, but yes, it doesn't always have the reach I need. For that I have a flex shaft that fits the die grinder, but the chuck on it holds smaller Dremel bits. It's touchy, but it allows me to get into tight spots.

well i am using a small drimal for the polishing and a air drill with a grinder bit for the portting sense i found out that porting with the dremel would burn my batt backs up in about 15 mins of porting
