Re: 1929 Briggs Town Sedan Interior Pictures
Super Photos, Marco!
Could you please a add close-up of the chrome parts? Are they original stock parts? They are different from 30/31 to S/W, but a close look would be fine! Thanks in advance Gerald Last edited by Gerald1961; 01-22-2015 at 09:28 AM. |

It's worth noting that the correct finish is Butler or satin nickel which has a much richer appearance than chrome (in my opinion) but not many folks do it.

Re: 1929 Briggs Town Sedan Interior Pictures
Thank you, Marco for searching!
Nevertheless, I think I will try carefully glass bubble blasting nickel plated parts. I have to buy a spare "test" part to see how even it can be made ...by hand. Glass bubble blasting companies are not far from my home as well as a nickel and chrome plater. I will report any progress. I will start end of march when I unpack our Lady from her winter clothes... best regards, Gerald |

Re: 1929 Briggs Town Sedan Interior Pictures
Hello togehter,
i want to update this thread because I finally continued my restauration work on the chrome interieur parts. Unfortunately, swap meets in Europe donīt give any possibility to buy used Model A parts because its too seldomly driven in Eu. But I always thought about a possibilty to get my interieur butler finished. My thoughts ended up -- as said before- in mechanically treat my glossy chrome parts instead of chemical treatment. I finally bought a sand blasting system an 0,05 - 0,4mm quartz sand and tried to sandblast carefully the surfaces. I am absolutely happy with the results, in my opinion there is no visual difference to rebutlered parts. |

Re: 1929 Briggs Town Sedan Interior Pictures
Did you treat or coat the items blasted to prevent rust?

Re: 1929 Briggs Town Sedan Interior Pictures
Hi Keith,
i took the original chrome plated parts and blasted VERY carefully. Apprx. 5s on a certain spot, then the surface turned matt. I am pretty sure not to have injured the closed chrome surface. My chinese automatc watch I put aside not to sandblast it too. I did the whole operation without gloves. Gerald |
