    Wow, talk about needing some good sunglasses! My bike has a chrome dash and that's enough to blind you on a sunny day, this guy must wear a welding helmet!

    I'd really like to see it in person before I say yay or nay, but I'm kinda digging it.

    10 to 1 say's it's spectra chrome or something of that nature. and the flames are a tinted version. One hell of a bill board if that's what he's doing for a living

    Something you would have to see in person to make a true call on I should think. I kinda like it from the pics though.

    On one of the olympics (cant remember which one) for either the opening or closing cerimonies they had a whole bunch of fully chromed Chevy trucks in a syncronised deal, Never heard what happened to them after. I remember Chevy or someone got in trouble for leaving the logo on the tailgates and they were the only black parts cause they covered the logo

    I remember when I was a teenager, wondering if you could get a fender chromed. I guess the answer is yes.
     
  24. It has to be old work, because between EPA regs and rising costs it would cost 5 times what the truck is worth to put chrome on that would peel off in a month.
     

  25. It could be that new fangled " Spectra Chrome" as mentioned on the previous page.

    I know that someone in the Dallas Tx. area had a fully chromed late 70's/early 80's Chevy Blazer. I mean fully chromed...all outside body panels. This was several years ago and haven't seen it since.
