That finish is awesome, god that's going to look something extra special when done.
Shame about the set back, but that's all it is at the end of the day, she'll be worth it in the end . A moment of someone else's carelessness is all it takes to damage all the hard work and effort but, at least it can be srted. I dare say Dan weren't too happy either. :daumenhoch: 8)

Can I just make this perfectly clear....the damage on the frame was there PRIOR to it arriving with Dan, Dan didn't realise the frame had come directly from the chromers up in york and not via me, and thought i was ok with the marks on it.
Thanks :daumenhoch:

Mate, I was referring to the damage at the chromers or when it was in transit. If the scratches can't be felt on your fingertips and is on the chrome layer itself it should polish out nicely. Bit of a PITA but not impossible. Fingers crossed it is and it's easily rectified. ;)

Your patience astonishes me. I would have lost the plot ages ago and set about the thing with a Stihl saw. :(
Hope you can polish out the imperfections. (were they caused by the courier on the journey from the chromers to SBD's?)

who knows it hard to tell, one thing i do regret is not calling Al on the day before i painted it, it just didnt seem
the quality show piece i was expecting and after reading all that Al has been through i really thought that he'd seen
it and was ok with the final chrome finish, we live and learn and i'm sure it will all be polished out, repainted and
Al gets his show piece :daumenhoch:

Got a question for you lot.

Need to get chromed again, Dave Allen Chrome have got a 16 week turnaround...too long.
Matt (Swivel) you know someone you trust dont ya mate, Sam (meticulous) Has Paul sent his frame to you??? Could i maybe do the same.
Cheers :daumenhoch:
