So,
A lot of you know about the fooking nightmare i had with the chromers down in Portsmouth, the fleecing fookers took £380 of me and give me a shit job :tickedoff:
The Job that had been done was shite and couln't be used as I'm having the lot Powder Coated un Candy Wine Red.
Anyway that is all in the past ::)
Paul (DB250F) over on Rewind suggested i use his chromers up there in Yorkshire...Dave Allen Chroming.
Paul has helped me out fookin loads and i can't thank him enough :4_17_5:, and massive thanks goes to the guys up at Dave Allen Chroming.
I'm excited bout this build again now, got the butterflies in the stomach too ;D
Anyway, Frame isn't quite ready yet as needs another 4 hours polishing :shocked:
Bars & Forks are below:

Paul will be sending direct to you mate, however The Chromer has just gone to Las Vegas for a week before he has done my frame :tickedoff: So I've got to wait another 10 days for that ;D
Still it's gonna be worth waiting for. 8)
Dan I've had some thoughts on this, just gonna do the Frame & Forks I think, leave the bars naked i think :daumenhoch:
