Most motorcycle shops have a plater that they use regularly. That would likely be the quickest and easiest way but I'm sure there are custom car shops who also offer the service.

Cool. If you cut a hole in your bonnet and fitted a glass window you'd be able to look at it as you drive along

I have a buddy who bought a shaker hood for his mustang, and instead of installing a shaker, he put in a plexiglass window. The window is right over top his Kennebell roots blower :drool:

Does anyone have an address for the above mentioned chrome shop or any other that might be closer to Bang Bua Thong. I would rather deal with the shop directly instead of having to pay a middle man.

ooh , now this sounds interesting ,

any chance of a phone number, or address :o

Ok, so sarcasm in written form can be difficult to spot

Do you mind telling how much the engine and gearbox cost you? Was it rebuilt, and how long ago did you drop it in. Any problems with the conversion? You picked the top powerplant for that conversion.

Bangna Trad. Kilo 12. Go past it & get the u turn bridge. You go back in there & you will find 100's of shops selling salvaged parts.

ergo no phone number. Better take a Thai with you to ask directions.

My ear hears Chaing Kong. So ask for that.

Might be a closer option for you to go down to the intersection of Worachak Road and Lan Luang near Yawarat (Chinatown). There is a small chrome shop just up the street heading in the direction of Chinatown from the Mitsubishi parts place on one corner. There is a shophouse has green wooden doors and hard to miss. They have done a lot of good work for me over the years. There is another plating outfit across the street and further in the direction of Chinatown, but I haven't used them before.

Nothing sleepy bout that, besides never knew that chrome plating had such an effect on going so much faster? :whistling: Learn something new every day?
