    I went to the junk yard today to pick up some parts for my Cadillac 472 and found what looks like a pretty cool part to put on it. ImageUploadedByTJJ1367104190.804986.jpg
    If I wasn't on a mission, I'd have got more pics. It looked to be in pretty good shape.
     
  2. Looks like good sheet metal but a man would go broke with the amount of chrome plating to be done. HRP

    ??? Are we supposed to guess what the "cool part" is by looking at the picture???

    10-4. :) In that case, I agree with HRP, that's a TON of chrome to replate! Can you say... Budget Blown! :eek:

    Nah, make a custom out of it, and strip off the trim. You could sell that and make back the cost of the carcass, I'd bet.
