Just so you know before someone else dings you, it's a Charger, not a Challenger. Just trying to be nice is all. Also, it's a great looking build. I like the street racer look you gave it with the stock style wheels and big n little tires. It looks really tough.

Not to sound bad, but I think the stripe on the hood might look better if it went all the way down to the stripe on the fender. For some reason it doesn't look right to me with the blue gap in there. Just an opinion is all.

I had to go to Menards today and buy a dog collar. So while I was there I looked for lye crystals. After walking right past them 4 times I asked someone and they took me right to them.

Long story short. I got home, mixed 3 tbs of crystals in warm tap water so they dissolved and then set my parts to soak. I had already stripped the 'chrome' off, just had the clear left. After about 15 min or so I scrubbed with a tooth brush and what was left came right off. A wash with soap and water and they're set to air dry.

I think this is one of the better solutions to stripping chrome that I've learned yet, even if it's caustic. It'll defiantly make my painted parts look better now.

Thanks Mr. Anderson.

ok, Now the real question, Where can I find it to buy it? I have got to two doaler stores and the gorcery store and can not find anything that says "lye crystals" or "lye powder".
