Re: 36 grille needing chromed
I think advance plating is about the highest dollar plater around. Two years ago, I had a 34 grille that was perfect except the 70 year old chrome was dull. No pits anywhere. They wanted $2500.00 to...

When did they make 35/36 running boards
Does anybody know when they started making running boards for the 35/36 Ford. I know in the early 1980's, the V8 shop (which I think does not exist anymore) were making 33/34 boards because I...
