Well,blackouts are done on the nose now & the nose is dummy fitted back on the car





Ive had a heap of parts zinc plated so i fitted the bonnet lock & safety catch.



Had a few Ford badges made up in Carbon Fibre so i fitted one to the nose to see how it looks.





Sorry about the last 2 pics...took them last nite & it was dark[:I]

Looks great.

Selling any carbon fibre ford badges?

the zinc plating is a very nice touch. i love the colour and the 4 doors
good luck with the build and keep the pics coming.

Looks excellent with the black outs on the nose cone.

Selling any of those carbon fibre ford badges?

That zinc plating looks so nice and clean. Good choice.

Hi Chris,

Who did the plating for you? Was it expensive?

Cheers,

Phil.

Lincoln & Diablo69,i only had 2 badges made so i will be keeping them for this car. Sorry guys!

Phil,zinc plating was quite cheap.I had it done by a place down here in Melbourne.They charge $50 for a bucket full.I had to clean all the paint,grease rust etc off the parts before they can do it.
Had all my door lock mechanisms,lock strikers,check straps for the doors & underbody brackets done.
Its a cheap & easy way to tidy up those parts & retains a nice factory look

Chris,

Where did you get it done?
I'm definately interested.
Is that price trade or off the street?

Many thanks, Shaun

Oh. Car your is looking great!!

Shaun,the place that did the zinc plating was Alliance Electroplating in Campbellfield.Ph 9357.7350 Cant remember the address,sorry[:I]

That price is just their standard price.They normally do industrial stuff but have a few restoration shops near them so when they have enough automotive stuff together,they do the batch then.
One of the places they do plating for is a GT Falcon restoration shop & we all know how anal they can be[:x)]

It took just on 2 weeks for them to do.I was very happy with the job they did and will definately get them to do some more bits & pieces for me

what a car & that coulor is awsum.

Where and who made up the badges for you?

Cheers
Andrew
