Re: Danny Boy is BAACK! w/ '55 Big Window
Good eye, yes it is!
Mike suggested it because the Vintage Air came with an aluminum bracket but the other side, the alternator side would have been steel and he knows I'm kinda anal so I'd want it to match side to side. At the beginning I was asking him about for serpentine drive suggestions and he said the nicest one was from VA but is like $3,000 - that was NEVER going to happen so I asked him to think of less expensive ways that would still be attractive. Using the factory aluminum stuff polished on the outside with the recessed parts painted flat black is what we came up with. Does anyone know if chrome plating adheres to aluminum well or is a problem? I ask because polishing means hand RE-polishing. I don't mind doing some but I wonder how long I'll be willing to do that, ha ha.
