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.

hahaha yeah I hear ya there. I got completely sideways in front of Joe's shop turning across the intersection, just kept my foot in it.

NEWFISHER · 02-08-2014, 12:51 AM

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?!

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.

Hey if your ever out in Thurston area swing by, I'm off 42nd street by the roundabout.

NEWFISHER · 02-08-2014, 10:06 PM

Here's one of the reasons I'm not installing the grille today

chakah · 02-08-2014, 10:42 PM

duallyjams · 02-08-2014, 10:45 PM

snow and ice, poor little truck was left outside, she looks cold, I'm sure there are plenty of good foster families with a warm garage

NEWFISHER · 02-08-2014, 10:51 PM

Hahaha.....all the dailey drivers stay outside. Boat, Harley and the Burb get the indoor warmth right now.

ChrisDollins · 02-08-2014, 10:59 PM

That grill turned out awesome! Can't wait to see it on the truck.

Chris

**youngrodder** · 02-09-2014, 12:41 AM

I feel you pain. Because of my Suburban project my daily now sits outside and MI has had some crazy amounts of snow and freezing weather this winter.

Eeegads Man, Leaving that show truck outside screams "Need a Bigger Shop!"

LT1 Burb · 02-09-2014, 10:35 AM

And to think it was 60 yesterday at my place 65 miles south.

TommyDuncan · 02-09-2014, 02:19 PM

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.

Thanks! When I changed up the door panels to get rid of the dents and reduce the orange, my wife said it's was like driving the clowns around at the circus (don't follow up and ask your wife " how long did you work for the circus driving clowns" ) I told her the seat, visors, carpet and panels will eventually tie in together....just takes some $$$ to get there.

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?

I ordered them from Wheel Vintiques. they have several different ones that will work. These were originally from 70's Chevy Luv trucks and Nova's
