Title: ANIMALS AMAZING STAR BAR RESTO!!!
Post by: markyp on February 15, 2011, 06:35 PM: so i land a set of star bars from the museum back in october,they had a huge bubble gum weld on one side of cross bar and when i recieved them it also looked like the other side was cracked too.the damage didnt concern me too much tho as the plan was to powder them so any half decent repair would do the job as the thick powder would cover any repair sufficiently so off they went to steve for him to do any sort of repair.once hed recieved them i changed my mind and decided that id really like to get them rechromed so the repair needed to be spot on(you know what im like with bling) so the challenge was set,could steve bring thme back from the dead????

before
