It would take some work to get to look good for chrome plating... I have only had to do one custom bumper for chrome plating .. DA sanding, good set of files.. & of course a good chrome plater.. They suck here in CA..

Cris -- You need to start to use Sherms - in Sacramento. Get them to copper - send it back and you block the copper - if it needs more they'll copper again and you repeat the blocking... all of this is spelled EXPEN$IVE... Chrome is like paint - it's only as good as the work underneath it. : |
Thanks for the info Greg! I know that getting a custom bumper to look perfect is alot of work & will be expensive!
Maybe we can convince the owner of the Bird to chrome plate this air box :D All we need to finish this box is weld the inserts on the opening & maybe a ring to hold the mesh in place! http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_1425.jpg Quote:

We here @ the shop are very proud of this cold air box.. We will now be fabricating more with aluminum.. We came out with a total of 8 billet machined pcs on this box..

This one is getting rear seats.. http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...anelLayout.jpg |
Cris,
Who does all of you CAD designs? Are you using any laser scanners to pick up dimensions? |
We do.. I have one specific guy that is all he does for JCG.. Another that designs & machines prototypes, & a few engineers that consult on our designs.. JCG is fortunate to have a great group guys on that portion of the the business..
All by hand @ this point Bryce.. Got some cool things coming soon that we will be using a sub-contracted rapid prototyping company.. Quote:
