Was wondering if anyone knows of what I can use to get the look of a metal winshield frame on my 34 Ford? I have a fiberglass car with glued in winshield with a black plastic type moulding around windshield. Thanks in advance, CK

Posted by pasadenahotrod  -  09/26/2006 02:36 PM Best thing you can do is paint it body color or just plain silver as do most modern convertibles for some reason. I think an application of "chrome" tape would be almost impossible to do smoothly and without obvious seams. At best... the look would be like "Tijuana chrome"...not that there's anything wrong with that! pasadenahotrod [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Pasadena, Texas   Posted by timkins  -  09/27/2006 07:49 AM Try the following; www.flexchrome.com I have used it on my 32 sedan with very good results. timkins [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Fishers, New York Charter Member since March 2002   Posted by jimmothershead  -  09/27/2006 09:58 AM I have a fake chrome strip grapic down the side of my '37 Convert.
