<x-charset iso-8859-1>engine chrome , dont do it , waste of money .. i just bought a full sent of
chrome for my 67 Baja its about 3 months old and rusting already , the top
engine tin where the indentions are by the numbers watter likes to sit there
, and thats where it will start rusting ... found you someone that does
powdercoating and go that way .. might cost a little more but you will love
the results .. i just paid 150.00 to have my front and rear double tube
bumpers powdercoated , threw them in the back of the truck and never woried
about them scratching  about a half hour bumpie slideing ride later i took
them out and they look perfect ..:) well worth the money
