Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Well today the brown truck dropped off my newly chromed mirror bases....and this time theyve still got the IH logo on them....they look great....still cant believe they ground off the IH on the other ones...
Other than that just sanding....boring boring....

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Yep...they did good on customer service.....
I'm thinking of sending my grill to them and letting them chrome it....I've already painted it with the cast blast paint, and I'm fine with it being this color and painted....but still kicking around how it would look chrome against the red paint and black wheels... Here is the grill painted,....yall let me know what you think..chrome or the satin gray color Unless I can find a bumper good enough to chrome the bumper will be painted black.... A chrome grill would look better with a chrome bumper I think...

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Glad ElPaso made good on the mirrors. As far as the grill, if you are leaving the headlight bezels chrome I would chrome the grill as well

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
yep... everything that's already chrome is staying that way...just wish I could find a really nice bumper that I could chrome...but after 60+ yrs I think it's just a dream to find one good enough for chrome
the bumper I repaired will be good with filler and paint on it..and I kicked around the idea of that "fast chrome paint whatever that is they do on tv stuff"...never seen it in person but it looks pretty good on the tube...and that could be done over filler... also wondered about doing a chrome wrap on it

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
I saw that chrome paint but I bet it's expensive. I don't know how the wrap would hold up.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
I havnt touched the bumper since way back at the beginning when I attempted to straighten it..
I've been back and forth with the plating guy about it...hes assured me they can fix it... Last night I took a hard board and sandpaper and lightly scuffed the surface.. It really shows some of the highs and lows in the surface.. I sent him the pics..and he says no problem He says he has a guy and that's all he does is straighten parts with a bunch of special hammers.. (I wonder if John and Robert are working there?)...haha So ,I'm gonna give him a shot at it....if it doesn't turn out acceptable then itll be wall art and I'll just build a bumper.. So I'm sending him the bumper and grill....fingers crossed... Heres the pics I sent him..

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
That's awesome. They must be old school bumper guys. You used to be able to bend em and mend em. Good news.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Thanks Dale....I hope so as well....if the quote he gave me stands I'll be more than happy....I have to keep in mind that these bumpers were most likely far from perfect when new...so if he gets it close itll be good enough...

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
I've got a 454 Farmall with a 3 cylinder Perkins. It is far from perfect! You might be on to something.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Did a little painting on the dash panels, overhead radio console, and door panels....I used the seymore cast blast gray...I like the color but by using rattle cans I can see some streaking in the color when the sun hits it....i may get some paint mixed and just use the spray gun on it to get some better coverage ..but with arm rests , window and door handles it may not look to bad...we'll see..
Couple of progress pics ....and I laid a door panel on one of the doors ...so you can see the color combo I'm using in the cab...
