Decorative Chrome Plating Grill Compressed

Here's where this whole story got started, the grille for Project Get Shorty. The grille is comprised of five streamline tubing bars, which needed to be chromed. Like so many others, I just did what I thought would work, and because of it cost myself much more time and money. In order to clear my headlights, on three of the bars I had to cut half moons in them. When doing so, the tube expanded and I had to clamp and weld it back into place, but I couldn't quite get it exact. To make up for the low and high spots I filled the area with brass... If I only knew then what I know now. View Related Article
