Now,look for signs of rust,
or signs of paint (whatever your case) . As seen on the Video, a careful
inspection saves you money in the long run.The non painted parts whould
have been plated either chrome or nickle (in some cases) and hopefully
these parts should be in fair shape. If those parts will look correct (in
your opinion) in regards to that brand-new WOW look at me paint job, then
you won't have to replace, repair or replate those parts. But
if those parts look like they have been laying in the Titanic's Hull for
the past 70 years, then you'll either have to replace them with better
parts or have them re-plated. If, upon your inspection, the plated parts
are severely pitted, or damaged to the point of inoperability, you'll want
to add them to your List Of Parts to Get, and search for better parts,
or Reproduction parts. If this is your first restoration project, You may
wish to keep a small notepad to record your findings and needs. More information
on PLATING and REPRODUCTION parts is available in the DISSASEMBLY SECTION
of the Video. |
