Jack, this whole build is just amazing. I've (We've) never before had a chance to follow a day to day build of a Riddler class vehicle. I was keeping up with all the sheet metal and body work but the number of details and the way you worked them out is just stunning to me. World class car you are building Jack. WORLD class!

I had a 1950 Imperial Limo that had dull chrome and solid nickel interior door trim. The bumpers were much duller than standard chrome. The same was true for an original 50K mile Imperial sedan I bought from the original owner. I believe it was called Korean War Chrome. I was told that Chromium was a necessary war product and in limited supply to the commercial world.

Regardless, it is an amazing accomplishment. I hope to see it in person some day.
