Hey All,
Looks like I get a fun filled week at Edwards AFB next week and will have a
good amount of time during the day to cruise around.
I know Lancaster isn't far from El Mirage, so I was wondering if you all
have any ideas of cool placing to check out for Hot rod/LSR stuff in the
area, or something like that.
Thanks

Subject: [Land-speed] Plating
Finally a topic I know a little about.
Dick, pickel (HCl) will strip the chrome quickly, but not the nickel.
There's only an immeasurable amount of chrome on a "chrome" plating job.
The nickel will be unaffected. The special strip a plater would use is a
mess to dispose of legally here; they usualy polish it off.
The "reverse plating" technique Otto mentioned won't work well, a plater
won't compromise his tank anyway, and the sulfuric bath Bob Denton found
will attack the steel to some degree.
I'm afraid you want to drop back and punt, and send it to a plater with a
nickel strip. Forget about pickeling it at all, the flash of chrome won't
matter.
You'll need a nice finish before "bluing", so you might want to find a house
that routinely does this gun stuff. My 2 cents. BJ
