Re: Markeb01 Build Thread
Another 4-5 hours of grinding, sanding, and scraping today finally arrived at the shape that perfectly mated the profile of the hood with the ornament base. It sits completely solid with no rocking. So I broke all the edges with a 400 grit stone, and hopped in the truck for a quick run down to the chrome shop.
They are going to try and have it done on 8/13 (in time for the Goodguys show). It would have been the minimum charge of $40, but it turned out to be made of aluminum instead of pot metal, which adds another process (and another $10 to the bill). No complaints out of me, I’m just glad my part of the work is completed.
