I`ve also ordered some black samco pipes for the engine bay. A full set plus the samco klips .Hope thay come soon  

OK boys and girls ive got a lot off interspersion from a engine build on this site and hes called crissiy.
And hes done some plate ting and some off you will have seen this .So i wanted do do the same so.
I bought  a kit from caswell europe and i ve had 3 mounths of hell trying to plate a peace of metel.
Here is the bus bar i maid.

And here is me mate trying to help me get the nice gold finish im after.
anybody that can help me with the plating please do. As i spent 7and a 1/2 hours on the caswells forums
yesterday and got nothing for my readings.

Anyone that can give me any help on the plating .Would help so much as this winter i would like to get her finishd.

Heres a close up

Here i am trying to get the sticky tape off me wings .

It`s all in the prep thay say :roll:

Still waiting for me samco water pipes to come thay take so long.But i`ve got my rubber that fits a long
the windscreen to seal the hood.Thanks to Crazy quiffs.But not CHEAP :roll:
But it will look a lot better than the old one.

Regarding the plating…I had the same nightmare!
Spent days trying to get it to plate properly but didn't manage it. Would've taken me years to do it nut bu nut.
I spent £130 on the kit! What a waste.
Found a local platers who did every nut and bolt in my bay, including bonnet catches, door keeps, you name it for £100. Dropped it in to them and 2 days later job done.
I've got serious ammounts of patience, but defo recommend giving it to the experts. More time for you to spend on other things!

You can see the platers finish on my thread…

Great work by the way…will look amazing when it's finished!
