great advice guys, thanks a bunch. i would not have considered polishing thing... i would have assumed that would be part of the process.......and bill v, you're exactly right about fabrication quality, or just about anything for that matter, no one seems to care. i had some aluminum pieces welded on my radiator, hell it looks like my 10 year old did it. he ground off the huge globs but burned thru the existing tabs in numerous places. brand new radiator..PMO . all i know now is to NOT go back there.

ohekk.....got a phone number for texas speed and sport chrome, sounds like they have a real "work ethic".

thanks again guys!!
