Sue's a keeper for sure.

Better watch out, Steve, Bob will be asking you for pin up pictures of Sues Sister. His stash is running a little low these days.

Merry Christmas to you and Sue also, and to everyone else on here.

Don

Here are a couple of pictures of that table/hood. They really did a nice job on it but I would be afraid of scratching or denting it by actually using it.

Got a call from the chrome plater today to come and collect my xmas pressie

He had plated all my front springs, a few small parts and finished off my rollcage, If its not raining tomorrow i will put the cage together for a pic.





















Happy xmas to you all

I love shiny gifts!

Bruce is just about the best around Dave, most of the platers have fallen by the wayside to be honest du to the Health & Safety do gooders
He is a car guy hisself so knows whats needed, I've been going to him for the last 41 years !!! When i first went there i was 17 and he was the apprentice, when the owner died he left to business to Bruce, He has never let me down on quality and many of my old cars are still around with the same chrome on them.
Bruce taught me how to polish over the years and he became a good friend, I have to pay but he gives me a 30% discount which is very handy.
On the cage i knew it was going to be a lot of money so i did all the polishing myself and he just plated it all, final price was £250 ($400) so i saved a lot there.

Happy Xmas.

Ha ha ha, The master is a 60 Chevy truck unit so is brake & clutch, I'm just using one side of it as single circuit brakes, everything is brand new and i've used single circuit many times before so i'm happy with it. I guess it wouldn't be much trouble to fit a balance bar and turn it into a dual system.

The reason I ask is because I can't see any type of balance bar in the photo, but it looks like another pedal (clutch) could be added for the left side plunger. Thinking back I seem to remember your going with an auto trans...........how about an overhead shot of the brake setup.

Nice to get back into the workshop today and work off all the festive food

Had to get my cage trial fitted together so it all went together easily as there is no room in the ar for fiddling around, had to sand the slip joints slightly and clear all the tapped holes out, There is a lot of copper, nickel & chrome on it for sure.

I know what you mean on the do gooders, Steve!!! Hardly a decent plating shop left around here. I'm not a real big chrome fan anyway, so I'm happy with paint and powdercoating. If you do send something out to be chromed, it's going to be gone forever and chances are at least half the parts will have to be sent back to be redone!!!! Hope your man has a good apprentice to keep things shiny when he's done!!!!
