mttam510 Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 well...they have a minimum batch price of 195.00, but I try to get my parts lumped with other ENP jobs that we have going in the shop.

mttam510 Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 oh yeah...and my front strut casings....one of the coolest things about ENP plating is that you can weld on it without much surface prep....not that I am planning on welding on any of these parts once installed....but at least i'm ready.

Draker Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I was just curious. I want to get some stuff plated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
mttam510 Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 California's EPA laws definitely make plating more expensive here...unfortunately. Hopefully OR is cheaper! Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I need to round up some bits to get a quote, but they said the minimum order is $65. I'll see about getting a pile together and bringing it down to be quoted. 3 Quote Link to comment

mttam510 Posted May 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I decided to cut the battery box indentation from the front fender well....I had previously just removed the box, butdidn't care too much for the look. Since I am already this deep, why not.....I have some pics of the cut out, but apparently they are on a different flash drive. Will post soon.. and another view.....turned out pretty sweet, i think. 1 Quote Link to comment

mttam510 Posted September 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 The roof really turned out nice, it would be difficult to detect that anything ever took place.
