I see you like chrome so how about:

I think they make Chrome master cyl caps.

You could install a chrome or polished alternator? If you are running a large sterio system you could use a better alternator than factory any how. Like a powermaster 100 amp polished case alternator. I have one myself.

They make chrome caps/dipstick for your powersteering and for your Tranny. Or a braided stainless steel tranny dipstick?

How about a polished intake manifold?

How about a Polished or plaited Mechanical fuel pump? If that is a stock one it may be better to upgrade it anyhow.

Summit sells power steering brackets that are billet aluminum and also Chrome power steering pumps.

Chrome Pulleys for Crank, Water pump, Alternator and power steering.

I think Mr Gasket sells Chrome dist caps. Ooo they sell clear ones!

You can have your fender reinforcement bars chromed?

Like any of those ideas?  
1963 Chevy II SS
1970 C10
1971 Chevelle Malibu
2000 Z71
2005 Passat 4Motion

Where did you get the reinforcement bars?  

good ideas,
the bars came off of a mid 70s caddy

I'm a big fan of going from, "it's alive!", to, "how'bout that...none of the wires got fried." And if you have the means and really want it to blow your mind, you know the guys with the goodies would set you up. Most of the suppliers I've bought from were way cool. Having said that, I have to say that my finest accomplishments in the dog house have been those things most appealing to me-- fresh hoses and nicely fitted clamps, cleanly run wires, grade 8 bolts wherever and whenever.  They're like right on the money for anything. See what happens when you bolt two down through your top radiator bracket into your core support. Right? Of course, when these machines are breathin' and they come alive, I'm not crying about the gorilla tape spanning the hole in the roof. My rides are more along the lines of mad max...without the blowers. Oh, crap! I just said alot of nothin'. Well, here's what I can relate: Chrome valve covers are sweet, tall for clearance puts them in the functional category. Mine never came with baffles for oil control like the factory built them. No doubt I didn't do something right, but there it is. Braded hoses have the tendency to look beat up at the clamps, but if they do somethin', there are braded fuel lines too. Clear-wrapped battery cables look strong, and they are. March pullies help with performance and you could save a bean or two if you opt for satin finish with a clear coat. A friend of mine painted his valve covers and distributor cap hot rod green. Another thing, the factory ran the plug wires down and under the sides of the engine (somehow. stock manifolds) and up into metal looms I never tried it, but it looked great. I'm the guy that's got the number one wire draped over the breather cap.Your headers look like black jacks, that I thought used to be white. But how would I know? Ceramic coating rusted on me eventually, but nothing like the spray painted finishes. I would love to try those fasteners that keep headers tight on chevy. By the way, thanks very much in advance for giving a fella the nod to dive into the abyss.
