I hate that! I was planning on using you in the future...

Having said that, after nearly 5 years of serving the Z community with my chrome plating services, I, too, have found it necessary to wind down operations and discontinue the service. When your business model relies upon the activities of multiple vendors to fulfill your needs, and your primary customer base is experiencing static or declining trends, you find that you either have to expand your business or consider getting out. At my age, the only thing expanding in my life is my waistline (lol).

Anyway, FWIW, I will be posting a "farewell" production run so that anyone who may still be in need of my services will have a last opportunity to  have their parts chrome plated. Hopefully, we will have some new vendors step up and "take up the slack".

Hey Mike, sorry to see a service like yours shut down.  Feel free to do a group buy announcement in our forums to help make your last run a worthwhile venture.  Good luck!

Thanks for the support and wishes, Mike. It has been a pleasurable venture and I've made a lot of new friends through the process. I'll post a notification of my "farewell tour" later today:)

Hopefully Patcon will be able to use the service before it closes down.

Yea!  UPS delivered the bumpers today!  

Just got everything today! I think I ordered nearly every rubber bit aside from the door and hatch seals [emoji4]

I get mine tomorrow. Hoping they were shipped well and aren't damaged... given the close out sale

My order arrived yesterday - a set of seals for my tail light lenses and a pair of new front turn signal lenses and seals.  Including shipping, all for less than the cost of just one tail light lens seal from other sources.  Packed nicely and shipped promptly.  If Black Dragon wasn't going out of business, I'd highly recommend buying from them.

I received my last order from Black Dragon yesterday. I ordered two sets of door handles. I guess I'll have to make my schedule to install most of the parts I bought.

My UPS delivery just arrived...can't wait to open the bumpers....like Xmas!

Meanwhile, the UPS guy is thinking, "Why on EARTH is this guy wanting to take a picture of me?"

Ask Brenda (lol).......she knows how important Z STUFF is to us Classic Z Car guys! Just wanted to show me that it had finally arrived.....she actually tipped the driver for his effort!

I just placed my 3rd order.  I'm about to enter myself into rehab.
