I know it would be a no-no from an originality standpoint -- and perhaps
structural as well -- but has anyone ever chosen to chrome plate their
windshield frame rather than paint it? What got me thinking about this was
how good some older LBCs look with chrome windshield frames -- MGA's for
example. I was trying to visualize a chrome frame on a Spitfire and aside
from the clash with the aluminum capper -- it seems like it might look
pretty swell. It would also remove the necessity of putting vinyl over the
inside of it as well. Just considering my options with the new project I've
acquired...
