Thanks,

I read a lot of complaints about this off shore stuff so maybe I got lucky. Of course the motor doesn't get everyday use and is wiped down occasionally.

Still looks good. Don't know what prices you're seeing on the internet but Patrick's might be worth checking into. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats | | Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 | I would be leery about chrome dress-up kits for $30 on Fleabay. Read them as cheap Chinese junk

Thanks for the recomendations, will stay away from the ebay as I think it may be too good price to be any good. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 137 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 137 | In Phx there is a shop on the west side on 67th ave. The Chrome Guy. Jeff is the owner. I have bought a lot of merchandise there and never have had any problems. Good stuff at decent prices. | | |
