Thanks, Bill.

Tyler, unless you live in BF Egypt there's probably a business that does plating in your area that can do the ash tray along with a bunch of other things for a minimum charge. I use a place called TFC Plating here in the Portland area and I routinely get gobs of things done in clear zinc and electroless nickel [EN]. Their zinc minimum is $40 and for that I can probably get up to about 60 small pieces done. Small things like nuts and bolts aren't too bad but bigger items can get spendy. The other day I had my clutch/brake pedal assembly plated in EN along with a few other items and spent $80.

Hey Bill,
Will those rivets need to be painted the dash color?
I see yours aren't but then I didn't know if you hadn't
gotten around to it yet. Looking forward to picking mine
up from you! Thanks!

And Bull,
I'm about three miles from BFE...Walker County, Alabama!  :brickwall:
I did look around but the places around here are asking a minimum of
$100 and I don't have that much to send yet.  Bill's place is going to
do these pieces for $25. Is there a list or anything of what pieces/parts
should be zinc? Thanks to the both of yuns!  :cheers:
