    Some things we have done before, so nothing new, but we tossed in a few new ones just to see what they would turn out looking like after being either hard chrome plated, or polished to a mirror shine. We were not too sure on the aluminum ones, being of a low grade casting and all, but I believe they turned out pretty good IMO. Most of these parts are mine out of my own supply I thought I would do up in advance and just see how they turn out before hand, and a few others are of customers who wanted work done.

    Misc. items plated and/or polished, group photo:






    A set of stock fuel rails plated:



    Front timing cover, aluminum valve covers, alternator bracket and a few misc. bolts:



    Maybe I should of said, get your shads on before reading this thread.

    You don't even want to know what all this cost me upfront. Chaaa-ah-ching on this pick up. Wallet is a tad bit empty on this one till I can make up for it when they go up for sale. I have some more detail buffing on the plating to do on the motor mounts, as they need some more touching up to my likening before they get sold and shipped off. The rest is pretty flawless.

    Drop me a PM with the parts you want done and in what, plated, polished, powder coated etc. and I will work my magic and go from there with ya.

    General rule of thumb, if its aluminum it can be polished, and if its steel it can be plated. Normally we don't even mess with regular chrome plating, we do all of our parts in hard chrome plating. Google the under lined if you want to know the difference.

    Well, when my house is paid off in about 10 or 12 more years, my "other" red GTP:


    Will have a totally new look to it since its going to be a street legal drag car...a rear wheel driver conversion, and still use the 3.8, but with two turbos in a special location. Not saying where, since the fog light placement was already done before I could do it. Living in Wichita, the air capitol of America has its benefits...epically if you like carbon fiber and billet aluminum, we have endless hook ups and connections all over town.
