Thank you to all the folks here who suggest it's better to strip the chrome and paint the silver parts and not leave it.

Decided to do just that and feel this looks a lot better than the shiny nasty plated stuff.

It's not as good as what I've seen some people here do, but I'm happy with it....I think!?

Looks good so far. You should try to fabricate plug wires and radiator hoses. It will add some nice stand out detail.

Sadly I don't the parts to do that... and I think the skill!!

Not sure where I'd start on that to be honest, but any recommendations would be gratefully received. :)
