what was the correct Power booster plating

[SSRSBOB]

Used Steve before and we were not happy. Too much gold and too polished, looks more like jewlery than a car part. Hard to deal with too.

Bob,
I concur, he was rude to us and we got mixed to poor results. I will be using a different guy, but I can't promote him one here, pm me if you want my recommendation.

Hi there. Steve Gregori here. I'm very sorry that SSRSBOB and Nytflyr were not happy customers. If you guys would care to contact me, I would be happy to discuss your needs and to try solve any problems. I've been doing this for going on 27 years now and try to make all my customers happy, but being human, I can make mistakes too, but happy customers is still my goal. I'm sure on this board I have many prior customers who've returned again and again to me for their restoration needs. Maybe I can help you two guys too.

Just a note about shine on boosters. Years ago the boosters that had to be polished to remove pits were coming out a little shinier than I would have liked, but still better than being pitted. A few years back, I found a better way to texture the finish after the needed polishing to produce a more textured finish that didn't have such a gloss. Now my booster pieces that needed polishing have a more agreeable finish. There is no way to make them new again, but at least we're able to remove those pits that no one would accept. Always remember that even the finish inside the booster will age after 40 years exposure to engine heat, oxygen, etc. The original finish I've seen inside the 10,000 plus boosters I've taken apart varies from nice to terrible. Back then, no one cared if the finish on the booster was show. They cared how fast their Muscle Car would go. I know. My first car was a brand new 1969 Camaro. The gold zinc finish I offer is what I believe to be the optimum quality finish that you would have seen when these cars were new.
I hope this clears up a few things. I look forward to the chance to help the two guys I mentioned above.

I've had Steve Gregori do several of the boosters from my past and current projects. He also did the booster on the T/A as well as the hood hinges and some misc brackets. I was quite happy with the results.

Steve did my booster a long time ago, and after a couple of years, it started to lose its gold. He redid it for nothing. I call that good service, well after the fact.

Thanks everyone.. learned a lot and now know what to do... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]

Steve has done work on my "junk" in the past, and I'm positive, he'll get the nod in the future too. My Nova project will definitely use his pieces. His work is first rate as far as I'm concerned, and at least in my book, a good guy too.

Steve has done most of my plating for close to 10 years. I cannot recall ever being dissatisfied with the results.

Steve,

I will call you tomorrow. Our order was less than a year ago, I'm sure you will remember it. We sent in at least five boosters with five very different results. Also sent some other stuff, hinges, latches etc. Problems were with the initial call we got back from you and results two of the boosters, one booster in particular that needs redone. Love to discuss it.
