    Got my chrome back Friday afternoon in time for Mooneyes, put everything on the night before... then it POURED! Today was the first time out of the garage... so I took the kids out for donuts and took some pics...:)... still waiting for by rear bumper wraps :mad:... I also dropped off my chrome around the side windows and vent glass...oh yeah, Got new tail light bezels and lenses AND I finally replaced my broken passenger windshield after 5 years!!!

    New chrome on the side glass molding?? You are approaching "gold chainer" status:eek:. It looks great!

    I'm off for the 2 weeks of x-mas and the shop is pretty much open the whole time (I even cleaned it up). Let's do those side windows......

    Wow, that looks great! Not cheap to do, but it's amazing what nice chrome does to the look of a car.

    This car has been fun to follow. Super simple things done (not cheap, however) that have made this car stand out.

    I really like it.

    I cleaned the shop so the next time you take a pic and post it wont look like crap. Now hurry up and lets do the windows before the shop is a mess again:D.

    mmmmmmmm.....chrome.....droool. I never get tired of it and I see new chrome every day. :D


    Many of my customers get a bit of a sickness when they get something on their car chromed; because it makes the rest of the car's old chrome look worse, then they have to get it all to match.

  28. It just keeps getting better!!! What's next,the interior?
    It's the details that make the biggest difference. The finishing touches...I'm starting to think painting the roof another color will ruin it. What do you think?

    Exactly Bob... Im going with the less is more.. I was going to do the purple top , but now I think it will totally change the look of the car. So now Im going to paint the whole car silver with a bunch of silver flake, and just do the scallops and my dash purple flake.. I started my interior too... im hoping to paint it sometime next year, but Ian's trying to get me to chop it first!!! hmmmmm:rolleyes:
