    Looking for a chrome front diving board

    The front and rear DBs on my car are body matched and I have an extra chrome rear. Im hoping to find a complete front chrome one (with all trim and turn signals) so I can do an easy swap if I want to go back to the chrome look. Doesn't have to be all there if its cheap though

    Thanks

        Do you plan on going to the Cars and Coffee meet saturday/tomorrow? I could probably bring it down into PDX instead of you having to drive to Hillsburrito

                    I will have shocks once all this sanding and painting and welding is done.

                        I have a set of rear shocks Jeremy.

                        Diving boards are anodized aluminum not chrome.

                          no wonder I could never polish them. Im guessing wet sanding was needed to get them shiny again..

                              Lol yep. You have to strip them and wet sand them. The anno hazes on these old cars and makes it look dull
