Hoppy, how long until your car is ready do you know?

Hi Jack, (not to be said at airport's). If I am the Pete you mean my wheels are the polished alloy only. I suspect Simmons were reluctant to chrome Hoppy's wheels because plating can hide small defects and cracks and they would want no recourse on them if a crack went undetected and a wheel broke. Either that or they were to lazy to bother until PR gave them a tough time.
Anyway Hoppy if your wheels look better than mine I am straight off to the plating shop.
