I'm wanting to polish an old Ford Motor?

I'm making a table out of the block, and want to polish it as much as possible, also I'm making a stool out of the crank and have another crank, I want to polish both of the cranks as well. And I'm making a lamp out of that, not sure if I want to polish the cam, and I want to polish the pistons to him the glass over the block. I have never polish anything myself before, to have some one do it I was quoted over 800.00 and I'm not looking to spend that. I don't mind buying the tools n supplies to do it myself because tools always come in handy. I KNOW I would use these tools in the future so I rather out the 800 towards a starter set of polishing supplies. What will I need?

Maybe start with something like this?
