That was totally worth the effort, and original parts are special. Nice work!

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@FeelingLikeThatNow thanks I think it's worth it took. Still need some work on them but I'm happy we could save them

[@Brianshrader6357]

They look great keep on bringing it back from the dead

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@Brianshrader6357 thanks it's always worth trying. There is half a dozen items I planned to trash but now I'm going to restore for this car. Keeping the trend going

[@gtsuperjet]

They look great Max! Personnally, I think the more factory original parts you have on your ride, that's definitely something to be proud of!! As always, 5 stars buddy!

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@gtsuperjet thanks buddy keeping as much original metal (as hard it has been to do) is always my goal. Found a way to even keep the original grill and light bezels lately even though they are super beat up 😎 cheers Rob!

[@gtsuperjet]

Nice!

Anything Chrome plated trends to come clean pirty nice. Even when it looks really bad. Just needs to be high-quality chrome. chrome plating is very Hard Material. Some chrome plating is thinner than others. If it's peeling it's not coming back. Most steel pants are expensive. The secret Is oil based paints Work well with metal. Don't know if the formula really varies that much.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Yeah well said thats why its worth saving. This was done about a year ago to be honest I just made it a standalone video and it still looks exactly the same as when we finished. Not sure how itll do in weather but really pleased overall

​@SubdivisionAuto you know now that I think about it you can actually go to a silinder rebilding place or some one how Re chrome's stuff to repair a bumper like that. Even if the chrome was peeling You would just want to remove all the old chrome Down to the old metal. Then they'll metalize it for you. Probably very expensive though.
