My dad and I used to drive 7 hours to go to that swap meet every year since I was about 5 years old. I actually got my tilt column from a guy at Turlock!!

Andrew, How reasonable is the nickel plater versus the powder coater? I deal with this nickel plated stuff everyday at work, but I never considered it for my build until I saw yours. I like the contrast. :metal:

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

comin your way Geoff. Just got off work, let me run out to the garage real quick
That's cool. The only thing I remember was how freakin cold it gets and how many diecast cars there are, haha. My dad used to sell a ton of camaro parts there with a guy named Robert. That's an awesome swap meet
Are you referring to the price?

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Yes.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

I've found the nickel plater to be about the same as powdercoat, maybe even a little cheaper. The last batch of things I got done cost me 40 bucks. This batch cost me 60. The guy does real good work. This time he kept one of my tailgate latches cause he wasn't happy with how it turned out and he wanted to re-plate it. The company is called Goldtronix in Mooresville, locally owned and family operated. Great people

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Looking good Andrew!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

details details. got those 12pts plated cause I was afraid of them rusting over time

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Also a little custom piece I came up with and built:metal:

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

nice piece. how did u do that piece?

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

I broke a few of the tabs off the back so I could get out the old blue emblem. Then I went to a local carbon place and they let me grab a scrap piece out of the bin for free. Then drew up a pattern, cut it out on a ban saw, and JB welded that sucker in:metal:

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

nice! Like that as modern upgrade!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Very nice upgrade there on your emblem. It looks awesome!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
