I used the Caswell zinc/cad plating system with good results.
I plated numerous items last summer including the brake master cylinder cover, the alternator fan, all the heater hose spring clamps and assorted brackets and hardware.

If you have not already done so you might want to install your ignition shielding and sparkplug wire shielding prior to the body drop. It's a whole lot easier to install now.

Because the salt is still a thick layer on the roads here our car remains in storage but we do have pictures from 2005. The first picture is the engine compartment and the other two were taken during the Generac 500 at Road America. One photo was taken at the Corvette Corral and one was taken...
The February Vette Vues Magazine arrived today and on page 21 are two pictures of Colin and Meg MacDonald's awesome 63 split window at Mid America Motorworks Funfest.

EBVette. Thanks for the feedback. I currently have aftermarket knockoffs on the car with P205/75R15 XH Michelin tires but the front tires will just start to rub the frame at full turn lock. We're shooting for Flight Judging in 2006 so will put my original 63-64 rims and wheelcovers on just for...
EBVette, Tire and rims look great. Do your front tires rub the frame at full turn? Was thinking about putting classic Torque Thrusts and redlines on my 63 and was concerned about potential tire rubbing. Any issues with the Diamondbacks? I've seen a bunch of bad reports on the NCRS board about...
Even though I live only 1 1/2 hours away from Road America I have not been there since 1977. Went this year with my brother-in-law who drove his ZZ4 Fast Burn powered 1955. When we got there the folks who run the Corvette Corral gave us fantastic front row parking. On both Saturday and Sunday we...
You might want to check out a customer of mine named Eaton Aeroquip. We cast fittings for their military business group but I know they also have a marine and racing line. Saw braided stainless steel hoses during visits to a number of their factories. If you can e-mail me details and sizes I can...

Hello Rick,
The current plan is to be judged at the Wisconsin Chapter Meet at Ho-Chunk casino in Wisconsin Dells June 12 & 13 then be judged at the North Central regional in Rochester, MN on June 24 thru 26. Maybe next year for a National judging.
Might make plans to visit customers in the...
Our 63 was judged Top Flight on the regional level by a previous owner in 1997 after he borrowed rims, tires, wheel covers and seat belts for judging. I've tracked down 5 correct rims, wheel covers and all the correct seat belt components including the red 3 equal band webbing (still need to...
Wanted to try to use all original rather than the reproductions.
I've talked to some of the people on Ebay who posted some very nice wheel covers. They had cobbled together nice wheel covers using bars from many donor wheel covers. Hopefully there's still a few good bars out there.
