Nice job for the first try. Nice results. I have seen several videos on plating parts and silver on black is always a killer!!! I think some who do everything you did except zinc plate and then a cadmium wash or plating the is yellow. Have a great day, Curt. I like chrome that wasn't invented I guess until 1938 then everything was nickel before.
@@curtrobinsongarage5452 The Borla are 303 stainless, eliminate drone in the cab and come with a million mile warranty if you plan on keeping the truck. They have well done videos with good microphones.
I have never gambled but I will spend more money for a part(s) if I know they will last. I don't race either but will burn some rubber at some point as the go up in price. I bought dozens of high performance GM parts for my 1967 C10 as the 5.3L came from my son's Tahoe after black ice taught gave him a new experience and he towed to my backyard and told me to strip it. After building a stout stand I did a compression check, then a leakage check. Then with a SnapOn fuel gauge to check the regulator. After installing cleaning the injectors 5 times, I inspected the exhaust valves and seats and looked normal. Since I rebuild 4L60e transmissions and new the common failures, I built a 1987 era trans for overdrive fuel economy. I placed a NTC Thermistor in an unused bracket. Soldering it to an unused case wire, shrink wrapped it and ran to a well known brand gauge. Writing a service manual was my biggest chore as I did each circuit with, color, size, connector and cavity. The fuse size, location with a photo of each major it. If I am long gone and my family is near a small town with one shop, they can take a paper manual, index, page and photo listed with brand and part number (As it Changes) but a 95% of a part that is needed is on the shelf. I love your body work as in black looks like as mirror! This deserves high praise. I hope I can learn from you! God bless.
