Very nice!
Please also post some of your pics in the
Engine Dress Up Gallery as well.
BTW...if you don't mind me asking...What process did you use to paint the cover? Type of Paint?
Curious if this would be a good idea to paint the radiator brace like this or would it flake/chip easily

Thanks for the replys guys. The engine cover was done at Classic Components Chrome Plating in Santa Ana. It's what they call a ChromeKote process for plastic parts which takes them 6 weeks to do. They also told me the chrome plating should handle whatever temps the engine cover can take.
I had called around and some places were charging around $500 for the nickle chrome plating (ouch!). They charged me $175. Time will tell if this plating will hold up.

Do not open the hood in daylight. The reflection of the sun might damage your eyes.
