A VISIT FROM TIM

Tim came by the shop today.  He delivered the body trim that had been re-chromed.  The chrome shop has done a great job.  We compared the finish on some of the pieces Tim had bought new with those that were re-chromed.  Aside from the fact that some of the new pieces were made of thinner gauge material,  the finish on  a few of them was not as bright as those that were re-chromed.  Fortunately, all the bright work has been received and is in good condition.  We will test fit all the chrome before applying any paint to the car.  We don't need any surprises.  
This afternoon we set the timing on the engine and adjusted the intake and exhaust valves.  Don finished cleaning the transmission case and the bell housing and I applied the finish coat before leaving the shop.  I will post more pictures tomorrow.

Later,
Tom McCurry
