.......and a lot of times you can google the part number in the aim and it'll come up on a vendor's website. AMK is a super resource.
I've always wondered why chevy used washered bolts on plated items and shouldered bolts on painted apps under the hood. Seems backwards to me. This is for black oxide. |

Chrome Preparation
This is one of those jobs that honestly sucks. I get all my chrome stripped and do some prep work. For this restoration I only grabed the quater window chromes, hood vents, door handles and a set of valve covers. This about the most labor intensive work to do which is probably why nice chrome work costs alot.
Pretty simple stuff, you just need to sand out the pits, and then work your way back to around 400grit before there ready. First picture is a before and after getting the valve covers back stripped, and after is a piece sanded in 400. 2nd picture is about half way through at 120 grit. |
