Hey Dave - Yes, with a catch. Metal Brite (937.278.9739 ask for Jim or Mike at 2445 Neff Rd. Dayton OH), does mostly chrome, nickel, and copper plating and some ceramic coating. They are my conduit to Hohman - a large outfit that does mostly industrial and mil spec plating. Hohman will not deal with end users like me but you can use Metal Brite as a pass through. They ain't cheap but do a good job. As with most plating, the more you can give them the better off value-wise you will be. They charge a minimum to cover their set up so save up your pieces and give them a bunch all at once. M Brite is doing a pair of BBC valve covers for me now and appears to understand the concept of original factory finish chrome vs most folks desire for "show" quality chroming.

Got a bunch of parts with Mike Barr right now. Usually does great work but having some issues with the last job. He is standing behind the issues and we are working through it. Sometimes that is the best that you can ask for. Mike has been doing this since the 70's. He does know his stuff.

Big shout out to Rick Nelson for his detailed reassembly instructions of my wiper system specifically reattaching a solenoid to the wiper pump frame with 4 relatively delicate tabs. Tricky procedure but had the confidence with the master’s trade secrets at the ready. Still lots of pieces to go back together but glad I got over this hurdle.

Assembly looks like the old game "operation". Good luck Sam. If it works, I'll have another one for you.... just kidding.

My motto is "if they put it together, I can take it apart!" Getting it back together again and working is sometimes another thing. Thank goodness for folks that have gone there before and are willing to share their knowledge.

Nice work Samitron! As I keep saying....it's "Samtastic!" Always nice when someone else helps you with a delicate assembly like that. Mikey helped me with gutting my Thermactor pump on the 68. Very detailed and thorough. His instructions were "Just take it apart and pull all that crap outta there, then throw it back together. WTF? And how did you get my number?"

Can't wait to hover like a drone over your car in November!

Cheers
Dave

Wink wiper motor

Seems like a hell of waste of time considering that this car won't be out in the rain

I have to say I am not a fan of 69 Chevelles... HOWEVER.. This car has definitely changed my mind. Amazing work and great thread.. I also spy a little Double Life on the work bench.. You wouldn't happen to have an extra rotor button laying around would you?

Thanks for the kind comments fellows. Below photo is the little bugger that I am waiting for in Saturday’s mail (Magnetic Relay Switch to place the wipers in the park position). I fried this when I incorrectly set up my electrical test of the wiper motor ! Then I’ll throw the whole thing back together and reinstall on the car. The other photo is my progress to date.

And Tom (WilmasboyL78), thank YOU for your bold prediction that this car will never see inclement weather. Fear not, I plan to make this ol’ Chebby my Daily Driver - I am even planning to disable a couple 2-3 pistons to turn my ‘velle into gas-sippin’, tree-huggin’, eco-friendly means of transportation. I’ll even start tracking my mpg in my signature so you will see how good of an idea this is!


P.S. Darrell, yes I’ve got an extra NOS 4215C if that is what you need. Send me your mailing address via pm.
