Well, with what I went through with my AVS with Dick, I think I will be sending it to Scott the next time it needs to be redone!

I think you have your pictures mislabeled , or Scott is real good at making them look like they were pulled from a swamp .

Hello, Thanks to all of your supportive comments, I appreciate them and your business! *John, I don't know if your were serious or not but in case you were, I photograph all carbs I receive right after I unbox them (in detail including part#'s and date codes) before I begin any work, the photos shown are of the same set of carbs "before & after". Nothing was done to enhance either photo.

Well maybe I should have added "PRESTO" after 35 years..... This is what you get.
Someday they will make it on the car.
Maybe we need a PRESTO GRAEMLIN

I can see the surface of the carbs even though dicromate? plated it looks to have a texture from sandblasting....
...is it possible to have a smoother finish as original?
Maybe the pic is deceiving...I dont know.

Scott, how long can they sit after the rebuild before they are installed, just trying to know what kind of lead time I need so they dont go bad before installation/use.
They can sit for several years, no problem. I warrant any restoration work I do for as long as you own them, if a problem does occur on startup after storage you can rest assured, I will take car of it. To date I have had zero problems assosiated with customers using them after long term storage.
*Those aren't blasted Domingo, as bad as they appeared "before" they cleaned up rather easily in this case. Blasting is a LAST resort when a really nasty set is being restored, typically it's not required.
Regardless of the level of surface deterioration (or lack of such) the dichromate does leave a somewhat motled surface look, some dull and some reflective areas, photos exagerate the effect depending on the lighting.
As with anything being restored, the better the initial condition, the better the final results will be.

Scott, I think he means that the captions for the "before" and "after" pix are reversed.
