have it nickel plated instead of chromed. it has a different hue to it, looks much richer and deep. that is what i had done on a set of rims for my triumph, looks awesome..

The stages of a chrome plating job are: Copper, Nickel, and then Chrome. Nickelplate left unchromed has a less-blue, more-yellow hue. Not quite as shiny. Equally durable. It's a less in-your-face, more subtle finish; I agree it looks classy if done properly.

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

too bad I didn't know you wanted one. I saw a later model slant six one that was chromed for $50 this weekend. I didn't want the plastic pcv valve setup, so I passed on it.

Hi guys, sorry I accidentally delted my pics, but their back now. Not sure they are the exact same pictures, but they get the point across.

And while i'm here I might as well make a confession to you guys. I've gone to the dark side.
My Slant 6 now looks like this !

Ah, that's not the dark side, it's just a different branch on the family tree. Nothing wrong with a nice clean small block installation and this is that for sure.

Growing older is unavoidable but growing up is strictly optional.

looks pretty damn clean! Is that a CA plate on the back of that dart? Nice job!
