I hauled ass over to the chrome shop this morning to pick up the parts before they closed.
The hub caps turned out pretty nice from about a foot away...
...then you get real close and see that the inner logo area isn't as nice. Chrome shop dude said that he thought I was going to paint the logos so he didn't focus on that area with detail.
Not super happy with this result but it's also not the end of the world...I intentionally sent one set vs. all four for this very reason. If I use them again, I'll be very specific about the logo area.
I will likely paint the logo area black and use these on Ferris because, overall, they look real good.
The horn bars turned out very, very nicely. I am 100% happy with how they turned out and I will probably send in the third one once I decide who's getting the next shot at the few chrome bits I have left.
Close up shot of the horn bar. These were both decent pieces with some pitting - pits are gone and chrome is really nice.
If I can get the door handles apart, I may refurb them vs. selling them at a loss and then turning around and buying NOS parts.
I've also got the locks for the doors that will need to be chromed.
It's progress and things are headed in the right direction so I'm happy overall.
