Deuce - what a great looking roadster!!:D :D . Bumpers and fenders have their place and on yours they look great. Sometimes I have thought about adding a front bumper to my car (got one on the rear), but just haven't found the right one yet. One could have saved me from a number of headaches over the years, not to mention money.:eek: :LOL:
FTB, FTF but to each his own.
It was cheaper for me to buy new hairpins from P&J and sell the old ones on eBay than it was to get the old ones chromed. Just a thought.
Just a thought here. I've polished nearly the whole front end on my '27, SB axle , bones, tie rod, backing plares, etc, and save about 50 hours in them. It cut my cost by at least half. It's not any harder than preping an 8" rear end for paint.
Chrome- you get what you pay for.
Careful of the cheap guys. They are famous for giving you back someone elses parts- especially bumpers. They don't think it matters. It matters!
I have my stuff done by a friend in biz. They make elect fans & coolers- starts w/ a D & ends w/ E :rolleyes: They used to do all their own plating in house- now they ship the stuff to Mexico. If I'm not in a hurry- it goes down on one of their loads. About 2-3 week turn & quality is flawless. Prep is all done here.
I just used these guys. They have a location here in FL, that is the one I used. I dropped off my stuff there in person, and they delivered it to one of our local swap meets for me to pick up. I can't speak for the location in MA.
Price: A pair of '32 lower windshield stanchions, door hinges(all 8 pieces), and the top mounts, $350.
Turnaround: I dropped them off on a Thursday, guy says "a couple weeks". 11 AM on Thursday two weeks later - phone rings, "ready".
Quality is great.
