Also got my headers pipes cermic coated, here is a pick of the headers

Here is a pick of the suspension from the chrome shop.

Started working on the other side now. Have to skim the hole car to get it straight

Where do you get your chrome plating done?

Keep up the good work!

Thanks hard at it
A place called bright metals in the heights, they do great work. All that in the picks cost me 800.00, which wasnt a bad price.

Not a bad price at all, beautiful work and is going to look very cool on the car, sweet.

Man that is a good price, hows about a heads up on them, maybe a phone number. I have a set of Desoto Hemi valve covers I need plated, mind you these valve covers are in very nice shape. No bends or kinks, they are media blasted and ready to go. The only plater I could find here in Alabama quoted me $725.00. Without seeing them, said the price could be as much as $200 higher depending on there condition. So all of your suspension parts for $800 bucks sounds sweet..

Its an old Mexican dude, does it the old school way. You just have to tell him smooth, show polish
Place is called Bright metals # 281-861- 0729
Its in the heights in houston texas. You can find it on the net. He even blasted the axel and striped the old chrome off the wishbones

Pro I have to say OUT LOUD geez man thats way cool . I do like the build and it not being a 1K of the same cars . That would make this whole hobby boring seeing 20 cars lined up and build the same .

A little shot of mine I do like fenders .

The car is really lookin' good, 53, and some really excellent chrome work!!!! Never seem time to get much done on my own stuff anymore so it's great to see someone actually getting something done!!!!!
