Title: Consider this when striving 4 perfection when restoring !!!
Post by: animal on June 22, 2014, 11:52 AM

these pics r of a down tube on a survivor MRD frame. The decal on the down tube has been there 4 30 years protecting the original chrome. U can clearly c the polish lines in the tubing before chroming. Nothing was as perfect as we try 2 do  ::) i have NOS MRD frames here and the chrome is nowhere near as good as my restored ones  :-\
