Re: 1940 hood ornament

looks great!


blame legislation for the prices, most of the cost of chroming is the cost of licenses for the process and materials. I worked at an aircraft company that still had a chroming setup, walked around it a few times. I would have loved to have brought some stuff in to have chromed but couldnt risk contaminating the mix with outside parts. I think they finally got rid of it this year, started sending the few parts that still called for chrome (throttle levers) to an outside firm.
