She's finally arrived - Changa Build

<< < (4/45) > >>

Picklez:
So, I'd value your opinions, do I:

1. Build as is, all original but showing considerable signs of ageing?
2. Keep the original chrome but replace the decals?
2. Fresh chrome and decals?

All the parts going on are either NOS or restored to a high end finish. I'm really torn on this one, I really wanted to keep original, but I equally struggle to know whether I'll be content with the condition of the chrome and decals when completed.

In the short term the answer's easy, at the moment all reliable chromers seem to be shutdown due to the COVID situation. So, I plan to complete at least a 'draft' build up with the frame as-is, I'm just interested to see what the majority of other members think too.

More to follow tomorrow, I'll try to do a post every day or so until I run out of the current parts.

As is for me.  :daumenhoch:

Yeah,what Nick said. Leave it,build it up,see how she looks/feels and then if you're still hot happy with it then you can get it re-chromed at a later date.
