Re: 1957 chevy family truck
does anyone know if the scratches can be removed? or can I do a light green tint and call it a day?

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
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

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
I think the same color wheel as your truck will look good. Then again I think a wheel barrow wheel will look good on your truck lol

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
Really nice looking truck. Well done!
BTW, is that steering wheel 15" and did you paint it?

Re: 1957 chevy family truck
what did you do to get the front clip that low? was it just dropped spindles or a mix of spindles and coils?
