Re: Crossing over, the 65 rebuild.
Yes. I gave Mike at Super Chrome another chance and although expensive and not polishing the inner corners very well ,I'm moderately happy. Its above industrial, just below show and cost as much as a NASA project.
I brought it to him blasted to speed things up. He has stuff acid dipped then pre polishes the items and sends them out to plating. He then gets them back and does a color polish, kinda like a polishing chrome broker.

Re: Crossing over, the 65 rebuild.
Nice! Headed out with a thermos of cocoa and one of the dogs to watch the intersection at Thurston. Its a favorite off camber wipe out zone and the curbs usually get 3 or 4 wheels each night. Who needs reallity TV when we have so many stars in our backyard?!

Re: Crossing over, the 65 rebuild.
Thanks Chaka. If we didn't have 6"of snow, I would have pics posted up of it installed already. 35 mile one way drive to the shop on ice is no bueno in the orange truck.

Re: Crossing over, the 65 rebuild.
Just caught up on this thread... wow! Came out really nice. The colors you use really tie in well. Honestly when I first see some of the things you do I kinda question it but put it all together and it WORKS!
My truck is all white/blue. Even though I bought it that way your build really has me thinking about adding some more detail/colors. |

Re: Crossing over, the 65 rebuild.
That Grill looks good in the pic. I know you probably already said it before, but what are the hub caps on the truck off of?
