I can't seem to get the last page of "Lets see all the cool 66-67 b-body mopar pictures.!!" to open. I keep getting an error that reads: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/bbody/public_html/moparforum/includes/class_postbit.php(294) : eval()'d code on line 23 Anobody else getting this?
I had said I would post photos of some of the work I had done by Superior Chrome out of Houston. You can judge their quality yourself.
1st 2 photos show 'nodules' on the mount studs and edges of letters I had mentioned
3rd photo shows the chroming right over the foil decal in the hood ornament. I had asked if I should remove it prior to sending and Bobby said it wasn't needed, that they would clean/ prep everything prior to plating.
4th photo is what it looked like under the decal once I removed it.
5th photo is the fender badge where the 'Belvedere' insert goes. The reason the inset area looks uneven is because they did not remove the old adhesive prior to plating. There are also 'nodules' around the 'II' area.
When I asked Bobby about what I saw as imperfections, he stated that for $700 I should not expect museum pieces, but more like 10 footer pieces. I told him if this was the kind of work his shop put out and stood behind that I would be sure and pass on to anybody who wanted to know, where I had my pot metal chroming done.
$700 got the following pot metal pieces re-chromed:
8 hood letters
2 Belvedere II fender badges
2 V-8 fender badges
2 C-Pillar base pieces
Hood ornament and base plate
Gas cap and 'handle'
Faux gas cap handle on passenger side of car
I have since seen repopped hood letters for $80 a set and C-pillar pieces re-popped for around $70. If anybody has had pot metal peices re-chromed and are happy with their results, please share.
