    I'm like a kid at Christmas. I just picked up the garnish moldings for my 59
    ElCamino from the Chrome shop.

    No paint
    No upholstery
    It doesn't run yet
    But I found money for CHROME

    that wad of paper sure looks like it is holding some expensive shapes! Show us how shiny it is! I guess i was faster than the pics..... oops!

    Looks good, and at least when every thing is finally done and together you wont be waiting around for chrome so that you can put the finishing touches on it!

    Your priorities are most certainly in order. You are a man with a vision

    I used most of my Spanish negotiating a price, I didn't get much of the
    rest of the conversation.

    He stops by the shop so I have never been to his place and I don't know
    who's tanks he is using.

    Maybe MarkX will chime in with the guys name.
    I bet there is a chrome shop a whole lot closer to OKC than this guy though
     
  10. Oooohhh Nice and shiny chrome! Cool man!:) Looks like they did a really nice job on it.

    Now you should call it an "El Chromito":rolleyes:

    Yes, my "Chrome Guy" picks-up and delivers. he works with a chrome shop outside of town and gives a good deal since we keep him busy.

    Looks good Tyler! That's gonna make it real bright inside. I think you should call it the "El Chromino" now.

    Aquamino is the official name of the truck. That should hint to the color.

    Unfourtunatley It will not be at the Roundup, I have been on the road an
    excessive amount this year and not able to get much done. I'll be lucky to
    get my upgrades done on the Model A:eek:, nobody is going to recognize it.

    Hopefully SK500 and for sure it's going to B'Ville.

    Chrome is my favorite color!

    I'm gonna have a stack of stuff for Pulido (or somebody!) pretty soon myself.
