Projects The story of my kustom project

Discussion in 'Traditional Customs' started by Sancho, Jul 18, 2018.

  1. Not much to add, but thought I should at least update what little there is. Got my first load of chrome parts back from the plater this week. Unwrapped a couple pieces, they look great!

  3. Sparks Plating in Haskell, Ok.
     
  4. Cool. I've been using Custom Metal Finishing in Indiana for the last several years, but everything I've done has been small enough to ship easily enough. Nice to have another name for someplace closer when the time comes for bumpers and bigger stuff. I might give them a try with the next batch I send out.

  11. I wish there was a Chrome Santa would sure be easier on the pocket book.

  20. Well as you guys know, sometimes other things get in the way. Original goal was GNRS this year, when we realized it wasn't going to happen Jeff and I went in together on the Ranchero and redid it for the Roadster Show. (It was a running, driving car when we got it)

    We are now shooting for GNRS 2020! It will be tight but not impossible. Everyone is ready and chomping at the bit to get this one going. Sparks will be flying and further updates will be a lot more frequent.

    Thanks to those who follow along. The encouragement helps!

    Great thread!! You know I love the 'spaceship in every garage' late '50s stuff, so I will be watching this one!

    Man, it's funny how things work sometimes. Just today, a guy on a Mopar fb page just put up pics of his '62 Dodge and it's almost exactly that color. If you're still leaning that way on color (and you should be) then maybe check out HOK Voodoo Violet.

    Good idea, leave the old tires on it and just flip it on it's side for painting. :)
