The freshly plated hardware will look really nice. I think that's a detail that makes the work look complete.

I'm doing a Denton build with a different take....I'm building a 250r with as many Denton parts from when he had his shop as I can along with some other vintage parts....The motor even has the original cylinder off of Gary's quad....

Thought I'd mount up the fenders to see what she looks like.......looks like I have a LOT of sanding & polishing ahead of me! Or do I break down and buy NEW MAIER's ????   ::) ::) ::) ::)

I can refinish the fronts in a day, and rear in another day if I don't have to drop the girts too low. Otherwise, Maier would save some time for sure. Re-finishing is tedious.
