Chrome cage - Page 2

Their photos of their work are pretty impressive looking. ......I was really into chrome when I built my Willys back in '84. ....Over the years I replaced most of it with powder coating,but now that I'm rebuilding it as an 8 second street car ,I'd like to get some "shiney"back on it. .........Tom

I think that powdercoating on intakes is illegal. If you have a carb fire it could put off hazardous gasses and you'll get fined, only if you live in Ohio and your name is Barney and drive a dragster...

And then the Hazmat guys will be all over you too...

I think that cars which were built before a certain date (not sure what that date was) are "grandfathered in" and are allowed to be chromed

Ryan, Call Curtis at Gale Enameling on 40 west. It is across from Adesa auction. He is doing my tranny case in a few weeks. He does awesome work and a fraction of the cost of Prokote. He has did all my powder for years.
Is Bill doing the cage?

Brian, how do their prices and quality compare with Indy Powdercoating? I've always used IP and have been happy. I'm going to be having a ton of stuff needing done next year if/when I ever get my Typhoon back together.

JJ, Curtis has did my work for years. I know they do alot of circle track cars and their oven is long enough to do a 250" dragster. Just stop out and talk to him. he has been very competitive with anyone in town.

Ryan I never liked that cage when I owned that car but what a great car and I loved how that car worked and based on the year of manufacture you can have a chrome cage as long as you swear it came that way new but they will never say a word about it just keep Phil straight
