On your chassis order did you take advantage of P&J's "show chrome" options? One of the best values they offer, considering the costs of having things chromed today.

I did not. P&J advised that any chrome options would add significantly to the already-long delivery time

That surprises me, as I thought that Pete & Jakes stocked a bunch of already chromed pieces & parts, plus the IFS is from TCI and I again assumed that they would have them stocked. Guess I was wrong, and they're made to order, or at least chromed to order. That's too bad.

So you're going IFS with everything painted on a '32 without fenders?

It is too bad about the chrome, but I'm OK with it. I was on the fence about going chrome anyways - it's a nice look but I can live without it because I don't want this project to sit around.

Yes, IFS, no fenders, with paint. I am going to use part of my wait to do some color tests with different paints so that I can start forming ideas on what color combinations I want. I also plan to pain the engine block and headers so I will start looking at some of the color/paint options for that.
