Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..

Well some excitement....followed by huge disappointment...awhile back I was tickled to score a pair of IH logo mirros... they had some blisters and I wanted to rechrome them...I got a quote from a somewhat local plating co....and they shocked me when they wanted 300$ each to rechrome...I decided id just run them as is...then a guy turned me on to elpaso plating..they said they'd replate both for 175$...so I sent them off..I could live with that price...they came back today..opened the box and WOW...they look great.....then the bottom fell out.......the IH logo , that was the main reason I bought these mirrors, is gone....plated over..invisible..vamoosed....DANG THIS SUCKS!!!!!.....I could have bought a plain Jane set of yankee mirrors for a whole lot less $$ if Ida known this....
