its plated, the inside of the tub is polished but everything else is plated

If it's not a runner, you could get the plastic parts 'chrome plated', like they do for model car parts, or try Alclad chrome paint.

Interesting concept. I've never seen an ae chassis chromed before. I personally prefer the look of polished aluminum, but this def. original.

I figure this build isn't for running, but I'd be real careful when installing all the screws into the chassis, as the plating might get real thin inside the countersunk areas and whatnot, and be tempted to peel/bubble.

I think the front shocks might need to go, though, as they appear to be older buggy fronts.

Please keep us posted with the progress!

That is pretty cool. Did you have the shock bodies chromed also, or are they painted?

That sure is going to be purty.
But a shame if it's going to be a shelfer, as nobody's going to see it but you.

I was thinking of doing something similar, but using chrome powder coating and making a runner out of it.


Be interested to see once you're done.

I guess if seeing pictures counts otherwise keep on with your playboy subscription and I'll stick to the real thing.
