New chrome machine for 250 Cali parts
« on: October 02, 2016, 06:17:51 PM »
Hi guys I'm just in the process of purchasing the hydro chroming kit etc for doing the Cali chrome parts bumpers etc

Should be around 2 weeks then I will set up a booth area and stands etc and start some demo parts to see how they come out and if all is upto standard then I will be available for chroming any fibreglass or plastic parts

Will keep you informed of progress

More work to do.  I can't keep up with all the upgrades.  I'd better start a Furrari oil filler cap to go with my engine cover when I finish my new diffuser.
Not all problems can be solved with gaffer tape.  For those there is WD40.
Not even gaffer tape can fix stupid, but it can mask the sound.

If you can’t buy it or steal it you have to make it.

Don't know about the bezels but the bumpers are FG.  The finish is unbelievable.

Gotta love how folks help each other with things. A true community of lunatics :)

Reminds me of when I was in the Porsche club here in Oz - rich and 'not' (me) would be over and under cars, working out how to approach the various challenges. A great leveler. Certain people never quite got it, but that's ok I guess.

What I do know is; it's a very different story when one can say 'see what I built' over 'see what I bought"
