I have actually never been fired from a job. Always took offers from other companies and have actually turned down the last 2 opportunities to...
Chrome plating costs are as high as they have ever been. Sometimes you want some fresh chrome that doesn't need to be done to the show quality...
Will do. I forgot I hadn't done that yet. Have to find the card with those pictures on them. Largest parts being done right now is Valve...
Going to be making time for another run. I haven't had as much interest as initially thought. Anything I can do to get some more orders in?
OK guys, Ready to take more orders! Send them on in. BudgetChrome@yahoo.com
Older thread but tought I'd share some of my knowledge. 1 thing that was mentioned about chrome was that it wouldn't go onto copper. That is...
Unfortunately I don't have an adequate oven to bake suspension parts after plating. Any suspension done would be at the discretion of the owner....
Still taking orders. I know I had several mention they were sending some parts in the near future. Trying to run in batches to save on costs.
On narrow parts I could probably go to 5ft maybe a little longer. The top of the windshield could be tricky if its the style I am thinking of....
Great! Thanks for the heads up. I should be able to get some stuff ran next weekend. Sounds like I could have a decent run to start with!
Length would be the only concern on those items. On the rods I could go longer as I can tilt them at an angle. The axle would probably be more...
This is just a side venture for me. Not going full tilt. If it starts to grow where I need to allow for larger parts I'll cross that bridge when...
lead time should only be a couple weeks. Main thing will be trying to run orders together to cut costs. Doesn't make sense to only run 1 part at...
Thanks! Sent PMs to all those who had asked me to contact them. Also set up an Email. BudgetChrome@yahoo.com That will also be the PayPal...
We are a go! Address is: Budget Chrome 4319 West Clara Lane PMB #287 Muncie, IN 47304 In reply to the Caps the price was $35 each for full...
No doublespeak. If you want me to polish parts it won't be high end. If you polish then the finish will be what you put in. Though ill warn...
Sorry for the delay guys! Working on a good address to have the parts sent to. My home address just won't work as I am gone all day at my job...
I'm still working on getting pictures posted. Just so much going on this month! I'll be in Detroit this weekend only to come back long enough to...
Silver solder probaly a better (safer) avenue as it doesn't require the same heat as brazing which could warp the cover. I've seen it done both...
Got a run in finally! As soon as I can post the pictures I will. Didn't take as many as I wanted but it did give an idea as to how best to...
How much longer? 34" might be about max but possibly a little more. I can check if you need something more than that. The problem with larger...
Hey! Hoping to have some parts ran by next week or so. Holiday season coming up will certainly press me for time unfortunately. Halloween...
Wanted to revive this thread. Laughed at a few and have some of my own hated phrases. 1: Great Investment! (yeah we all know how that goes)...
I'm back! Getting close to a test run. I will show varied quality of parts coming in and what they would look like coming out. Also will show...
OK, I will be offline for a couple days. Might be on tomorrow... Possibly. So if you don't hear back from me until Monday that is why....
I'll try to get something up about prepping parts but its really tough as it really depends on the type of part as well as condition. The best way...
Still trying to get things worked out. Will get some prices figured out on popular parts and post those. Obviously I will have to see how much...
Alot is involved with the EPA. Federal and State. Alot of new guidlines just came out recently as well. Nickel plating is now under more scrutiny....
F&J, I was responding to others that mentioned doing alternative coatings as well. I just wanted to clarify that I wasn't interested in pursuing...
Currently thinking air breathers, and valve covers being the biggest to start. Probably be some time before consdering much larger items like...
