Either you took a time machine back to snag those chrome parts from the factory or you had some rechroming done.

Nice build.

I've seen this in person and the shiny black and chrome is just awesome and I'm not usually big on chrome.

Very nice! Black & Chrome Classic. Did you clear coat your brake parts?
If it's not been rusty what good is it?
NOS is cool, but rust is life.
