Any news on this? Final costing?

A work in progress, we've got our cut list for materials and we'll be working on it again soon.

are you guys offering re-chroming of rotor housings. I see this thread is quite old. what is the latest news

Cut list of materials is done, we need to get everything welded up and then see if it all works as we want

I have some stuff to send you guys so I'm eager to hear more about this.

Can you do peripheral housings as well?

Yes we can

Ok now I'm in need of new housings because the ones I paid for with the ~$4000 build (a year ago) are jacked and look like someone used acid for coolant.

Are you guys accepting housings yet? I have a couple I can send.

If you can send me some pics of the housings I can give my opinion on how they look for re-chrome.

We are not ready yet but we are close. By Friday we can start on this again and finish our trials.

Hey sven, oh man I have 2 S5 NA housings that looks pretty bad. hope a rechrome can give it some new life. Please keep us post. :)

Ok I'll take some pics tomorrow if I can remember and send them to you. Thanks!

I'm in need of housings right now though, in case you have some good ones you can spare lol.

Here are pics of my housings. Also, these have not been cleaned up aside from just a simple wipe down. They haven't been touched for over a year.

Not much for us left to do for us to get this going. Some welding and some fitment then we can do a mock up.
Will keep everyone posted

I've been working on it for the last two days getting everything fitted just nice :) This baby is just about ready for our trials.
Stay tuned for the next update

Looking forward to it

:lurk5:

I bet they will look great!

I'm extremely happy to report that we are finished!

I'll be taking the 2 FD housings SFD01 and SFD02 on Monday to get chromed next week.

Of course pics will be posted as soon as they are done.
Happy Trails!

Sweet!

I had 3 tweaks to do, the last tweak is finished and we will be setting up Friday to start chroming my 2 FD housings SFD01 and SDFD02 as in the pictures posted previously.

Dropped everything off on Friday but my guy had gone home for the weekend so we will begin first thing Monday.
Pics to come soon.

The shop is very busy this time of year, lots to get out before break-up being that we are in oil country.
We'll have them finished by weeks end.

Updates?

Yea, normally it is a very slow time of the year for my shop but they have been flooded with business non stop.
We have to do a complete change on the set-up which takes a day to do and he has to get everything off his plate to do so.

Once our trial is complete we will look at getting a dedicated set-up just for housings. We want to eventually set-up to do 4 housings at a time or more.

Everything is ready to go I'm just waiting for the phone call.

Well, still waiting for the call. Hopefully it will be soon. Just talked to him today and once he gets a certain job done we can begin.

Any updates on this?

18 month bump :smilielol5:

I'd love to hear of a good use for all the early 13b rotor housings I have thrown away because of chrome peal . Not to be negative but this seems to be a dream with good intentions .

Wasn't Jonathon over @ Goopy going to get into this :suspect:

I just did an update on the other site. We have our program finished (probably the most accurate rendition of the housing shape on the planet) and next we will make our anode. I'll update once I have more news

:biggthumpup:

Thanks for the update. Any new research on repairing larger dings to the surface under the chrome liner?

We are looking at various methods of fixing those

19 months, any tangible updates?

Yea but I don't want to tell you my problems

any updates?

What issues have you run into ? I would like to hear if you don't mind
Is it anode related ?

No not anode related. Just trying to perfect everything and something always seems to creep up. Right now it's a $$ issue.

Considering Selling Entire ReChrome Set Up and Proceedure
 

Like the title says thinking of selling the proceedure and all equipment for rechroming housings.
