Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Heck yeah, my bro does great work. Hey Ryan, what do you know about zinc plating in Iowa? I've contacted Barrett Plating and asked about their services.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Litew8, I used a place just off NE14th st behind chrome reflections a couple blocks. I can't remember their name. They charge by the line to dip. Everything I had done turned out great. You might call Art and see who he was using. He has been getting some stuff done lately.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Ryan, maybe it was called D&J's? I went ahead and took a few parts to Barrett's. $50 for two hood hinges, spare tire holder and two small tailgate peices. zinc black chromate plating. He said it'd turn out more of a matte black since the peices were sandblasted. Perfect

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
NE 60th, Des Moines. http://www.barrettplating.com/ They almost didn't do it, until I said I'm not looking for 'perfection'. My guess is they've had bad times in the past with auto restoration parts not meeting customers expectations. I just want the stuff protected (other than paint) and somewhat near stock looking.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Thanks cheby! The cool manager at Barrett Plating changed his mind and only charged me $40 (instead of the quoted $50). I told him I'll send pics of the parts installed when finished. A couple pieces had scratches, but no biggie. I can probably shoot them with Zero Rust to conseal well. Otherwise, they're zinc plated protected now. I also put the air vents back in. Gas tank almost installed.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
I used to use Meguiars and it worked really well.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Great job on the weather stripping. I think I'll switch mine back to stock type later on when it's closer to driving.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Thanks. We'll see tomorrow if the weather strip stayed put.
Mike, I wouldn't mind deleted some of the paint and muffler comments mid-way through. It'd clean the thread up and make it a little more neat (step by step) with the pictures and direction.

It'll feel more like progress once we start work on the bed.
