Looks great! In a few more years, no one will know what chrome is.  So many shops have closed.

Pretty cool. Always great to try to make similar parts to keep them looking like they did. I did not know what the earlier ones looked like.

I abandoned the kit I bought from Eastwood.  Although it would plate its performance was mediocre at best.  I bought a kit from Caswell.  Holy cow!  This kit makes a novice a success.  It was so nice to be able to plate my parts on demand.  The place in Flint, MI was great and willing but as little parts kept popping up, I needed an alternative.  Having this eliminates the need to go searching for a shiny replacement. And you know the part will fit.   It is great!

The more a part is prepped the better the outcome.  Most of the time I just bead blast each item and they will come out shiny.  Recently while making the early dummy grips, I made one for myself also.  Before I installed the rubber grip on it I polished each end in the lathe and then plated it.  Not chrome for sure but I could certainly see myself in it.

they are very professional and package very well for the return trip.  They ask that you send a list of items with the parts.  i always take pics too.  I have used them a few times now.
