You're doing great work here. Love the car.
However, this thread could have ended after that photo of the speaker held into the door with zip ties, and it would still be the best thing on TB.
LOL, yeah that was a pretty laughable finding. Thanks for checking it out!
About the chrome, hope you didn't pay too much for it? Don't mean to sound negative but if it's all like the clamp up front I wouldn't accept it from my chromer. The pitting is hardly cut and looks only barely polished - it's one thing if you accept the look, but still, if the pitting isn't taken out the chance is big that there's still rust inside and will appear eventually.
I'm a big fan of chrome undies (into lowriders), but chrome like this underneath a car isn't gonna hold up very long. Chroming itself doesn't need to be expensive, but the hours prepping are. Thats why I wouldn't accept bad prepped but still expensive chroming.
This was done as a favor, from a friend/business contact.
Completely get where you're coming from, the imperfections you are picking up on is on me. I told him not to worry about the bars looking show worthy. I requested a through blasting, cleaning, and dip as they are. He specializes in restoration and hod rods and I trust his work. I guess time will tell!
