Hi Greg - welcome to HomemadeTools.net :welcome:

MGExp.com is a good one :) So what's next up on your projects list?

Hi Jon

Thank you for your welcome. My next project is refurbishing a vintage Boot (luggage) rack for my MGB.

Cheers
Greg

Hi Greg,

Welcome! :welcome:

What sort of work will you be doing on that rack? Straightening, plating, etc. What kind of shape is it in?

Let's see some pics!

Hi Ken

Thank you for the welcome.

The rack really needs to be chromed or plated but I haven't found a good place local as yet.

I have been striping it of old paint and rust and now I need it for a weekend away so I have just given it a quick coat of primer and Chrome paint for the moment.

Before and After Pics.

There aren't too many places still able and willing to do proper hexavalent chrome plating. It's just not worth dealing with the EPA. That said, there are definitely some options. Feel free to PM me for some ideas and alternatives.

Welcome to the forums, Greg! Your MGB reminds of the Austin-Healey I used to run around in... :welcome:
