This brings up one more point. Why can one car win multiple "of the year" titles? You guys are really good about sharing the love, but I will...
You are correct. Labor Day weekend is huge in this area. People go to the lake, its the start of college football, and it is the last big...
Thanks everyone for your help. Viva la HAMB! Does anyone know if this car is still in existence?
Think so many people have the same fear I do about Super Sunday. If it takes off and does well for Goodguys, it is only a matter of time before...
Thanks for sharing KIRK! I think that is one of the top shows that Goodguys puts on. It has always been one of my favorites and it kills me that...
What a great thread. Hate to say it, but during the late 80's and early 90's I didn't have a drivers license yet, but went to my share of rod...
Glad to see you got the car Ron. You definitely made a great score there. I like your plans of cleaning it up, giving it a rake, and making it...
Great story, great pictures, and a great roadster! By the way, congratulations on tying the knot too!
Thanks for the coverage. I am wishing I would have went now.
Thanks for posting. I had made up mind that I was going, then changed my mind and decide not go. I wish I would have went. What kind of money...
Whoa, easy guys. Okay so instead of saying that this was a new finish, I should have just said it is a finish we are now offering. To a degree...
Thanks for the compliments Alan. We really appreciate it! Glad you could make it to the party.
Sorry for just now getting back to you. Somehow I had missed your question. Corrosion wise in regards to the base metal this process is the...

For those of you who missed the party last week, here are some pictures from the event. Sorry if everything isn't completely HAMB friendly....
This is just the beginning of some new finishes we are creating. I hope to have more to share in the near future.
While you are correct about being able to duplicate it with chemicals and paint kits, I can tell you that ours is a true electroplating process....
Yes we do polish old aluminum valve covers. Depending on their design and condition, you are looking at roughly $125 a piece.
Yes, it would hold up on bumpers. It won't come off, start rusting, or anything of that nature. All and all it should wear about the same as...
Thanks for all of the positive feedback. :)
It is a combination of techniques.
Yeah, I could see that, but someone has to step out of their comfort zone every once in a while. It's not for everyone, but I think used right it...
It is less expensive than chrome. On valve covers you are looking at right around $100 a valve cover depending on how beat up it is. Glad you...
I just wanted to share the latest finish option we have come up with here at Advanced Plating in Nashville, Tennessee. The moment we finished...
Only two days away. Just wanted to let you all know that there are gift bags for the first 200 cars and the first 60 bags have something a little...
Thanks for the compliments Joe! We love putting it on and always look forward to seeing everyone there.
I have often wondered about this car and have tried to trace some of it's history but have had no luck. These pictures were taken by my...
Yes I should be at Columbus and we will have a booth there too! I think Steve will probably make the trip too.
Great! Look forward to seeing you there.
I absolutely love this thread! :D
