I agree, I always try to remember this.

It should be frowning and not smiling when it comes to the front sway bar.

Tim,

Nice job on the rocker moldings. We are getting there, the light is at the end of the tunnel.....

Did you paint the rocker mouldings with textured argent or silver paint?

I purchased the rocker molding paint through frank badalson. i hope that answers your question. in fact all of the different silver paints were gotten through badalson as well. real nice stuff to use.

It doesn't really answer my question, Frank sells high quality paint for allot of applications (good stuff too!).

I asked because it looks like textured argent paint in the pics.

The original rocker mouldings were manufactured with the texture already formed into the surface so they did not recieve the textured argent paint, they recieved a non textured silver paint and the backsides of the gills were masked off and painted black (as yours are).

There was no texture in the paint so the texture you see is whatever the factory put in the rockers. These rockers were as good as new when we started with them and I was nervous every time we touched one.

Just in case anyone was wondering, there are 75 gills on each one and it takes lots of masking and an exacto knife to mask off each one invividually.

Mike and Hubert are both still cursing the designer of that part!!!

Scott, this is an example of what I wrote to you in another thread. Frank & Roger as well as Dave Walden and David Wise have been really helpful to us in every way. That's before the fact that we post everything on here and get comments from all of the helpful people on Moparts, especially Alan.

Truly, we don't know everything about doing an OEM job but we're learning on every single part we restore AND we have so many people willing to help us, that I really think we do a pretty good job.

We're the "average guy's" restoration shop.

We're not taking any business from any of the big guys and they aren't worried about us. We're just offering a service at a price that more people can afford.

There was some talk about the gills being painted black and the silver was applied at an angle to shield the desired black effect.

That way works well...

There's always more than one way to skin a cat. Leave it to us to do it the hard way!

We were pretty sure these were original and they had a pretty crisp line between the black and the silver. The only way could could duplicate the clean break that was on there originally was by doing it the way we did.

Let it never be said that we take short-cuts!
