Just an FYI everyone. The original post was from 7-12-2007. The recent reply was "Tnshovelhead" Who was thanking the HAMB as a great...
Being an outside part, the plating on your Sable wheels is most likely the real electroplated nickel/chrome process over plastic. Purpose made...

TIG welds usually have the least amount of pitting. Pitting, or voids in the welds, are the single biggest issue with plating welded bumpers to...
High compared to what? There are ways to get nice plating done for less than half the cost of having the plater do everything; just by doing...
edit: J. Fitzhugh, that sounds really high, unless the bumpers were really rough and needed to be made perfect. The straightening comes before...

Happy Birthday Mr. Winfield! May you have many more!
It's OK, everybody is doing it. Have some more. :cool:
