Eugene is too far but Tualatin is 19 miles. I’ll check it out. Thanks.

You know, I didn’t think of that. I already have a hoist in Mass but I could put it up for sale cheap. It would sure cost less than renting. Thanks for the idea!

Thank you for the kind offer but I’m flying out and driving back. On the drive back to Mass we will be passing through Boise and visiting the Wendell wrecking yard and a lot more. Planning a two week casual drive. Thanks, -Mike

Hmm…that must be why the plater told me that nickel was expensive, he’s speaking from today’s point of view. And like chrome plating, the nickel plating also starts with copper. Copper was applied to this shift lever and e-brake handle, followed by the nickel. These pieces are unbuffed/brushed...

Here we go, fresh from the plating shop….cadmium as original.
