Did you forget to do the thin V-stamped fender support rods (down low) or did you just like them body color so much you couldn't do it? :)

are you asking about the one on the driver side in front of the tire?
I had it done in gold zink.. photo below..it bolts up the frame. nexed to the steering box...
hood latch support was dropped off today. the v shaped brakets on ea side of it (black) I had done with the parts I picked up today...as nobody is making a billet set.. I had to go with Chrome.but I will never have to buff them out!.(there are some fender rods 12" to 14" in long.. body color..thay are stayn..)

E Brake levers..had been just to close to the rim..so I got a 2nd set..cut them down 1/8 inch and will install..
the others look so good. I did not want to trim them..
this set(below) of E brake Levers are just to long..(ya can see they are longer then the set above)

this was made by a member on this site...I had to cut the (what they think are welds) down to buff out the mess..and then have it buffed out to a like chrome finnish..its nexed..look close ya can see the weld mess in front..the photo was Deceiving..no biggy..we made it look 1000 times better..(this is a before I got it shot) before the part was on anybody's car.. what I got was a mess...but its going to look better then this photo!

not going that far:)...leaving the 25 year old factory paint..just doing a nice street car.. for Fri/Sat night fun
after all everybody has painted parts...
if ya cant get billet parts..chrome what ya have..when I ordered the K member and A arms..I did ask for naked Steel...as I was going to plate them as well... but all they had was coated..so just left them red...

started plating all the parts in gold zink....then wanted chrome..so I did a 2nd set of parts in chrome...

Re: the chrome parts are rolling in
 
so this is what I picked up from this site....before reworking it..not a bad part..(they should have used rivets)...it would have looked better...but hay..it's a start...first removing most of that thing the looks like a weld...sorta of...removing by hand with a dremel tool...before repolish..new welds added on the under side...
