DP Firebird 25yr old shed find...FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deano:
This blinking thread just wont go away :lol:
So i had some black CW bars on this build and i had been on the look-out for some chrome freestyle bars for ages. Id not had any luck in finding any and Jake was selling some white bars i liked so bought them :wink:
Thanks Jake off BW
Now they were in good shape and looked fine (but not chrome) so i sent them off to :butts: for the magic wand treatment :grin:
I know he is the man and he tried to talk me out of it because the metal was pitted badly but i begged him to try :lol: as they were for a survivor anyway.
Pictures: Note the pitting is underneathand not the gnurled centers, my pictures aint the best.
Had to change the seatpost too :smile:
This is how it will stay now as im well chuffed with how it looks, there not ladder bars but better than the cw's imo
ozone:
I much prefer the chrome bars to the black Cee-Dubs - chrome Cee-Dubs would have been fine also, IMO. :daumenhoch:
Do you think red DX's would look nice on it? You could always try some of that red (plastikote) glass paint if you want a colour change. It does come off if you don't like it. :angel:
Deano:
Ozone thats not a bad idea about red dx's 8) Thanks buddy.
The cw's were chrome but flaked all over so i coated them to keep the cost down. Im keeping them and maybe ill buy some chrome ones one day as im told early dp's often had cw's.
Cheers :)
