Re: 1957 chevy family truck
yeah my dad has only seen email pix. my mom said he doesn't want to see it in person till its completely done. but so far he approves.we found out a month ago he has stomach cancer. he is having surgery Tuesday. I told him he better get well fast so we can go for a cruise I was hoping to be done by now but every time I turn around my money goes else were. sure it happens to all of us. by the way luv your truck but hate to be next to it in a race looks like your running some major motor.

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
Hey thanks for stopping by my page. I am so sorry to hear about your dad, that is rough I can't imagine what you and your family are going through. I will keep him and you and yours in my prayers. I know he is just filled with pride with you and your brothers, you guys have done some gr8 work with his truck.
That picture on your profile page of you and your siblings with the truck in the back ground is priceless.

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
Sounds like a good deal on the window.
My rear glass has some scratches in it also. Let me know if you find a way to get rid of yours. Kim |

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
I think Speedy Glass can still polish out fine scratches. They did my door glass about 6 years ago

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
just came from the chrome shop can someone remind me why its better to rechrome than to buy repops
 for my wing window and division bar it was $230 I was going to have him do my steering wheel ring but $150 for just the ring was way to much. the repop on that one is $85

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
the repop parts have Chinese chrome so its not great quality. Even getting it re-chromed your taking a chance. I had some Harley stuff chromed awhile back and i wasn't happy with it after a year. Due to the EPA, chroming is not what it use to be. Its expensive to chrome because of the hazardous material they have to get rid of. I would get buy the repop stuff before chroming. Unless your building a show winner.

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
I got a great deal when he did my front emblems was cheaper than repop stuff but now I'm like WOW but he's got it already so I need to suck it up. think it ended up $60 more than repop would cost
