2.  Can   My  Parts Be Plated After being Engraved ?

       YES !!......Be sure to Stipulate that you are planning to have your parts plated After Engraving,  so we can make All of our Cuts Deeper to compensate for the Plating Process.   Be Advised......."Chrome Plating Will Fill in Some of the Fine Detail Work that Makes Our Engraving So Desirable."

3.  How Much Does Your Engraving Cost ?

     This is Probably the Hardest Question of All to Answer.   Each Project is Different and Therefore Pricing Can Vary.  As Most of our Engraving is Comparable to Tattoo Art,  Both in Design and Size,  it Would Be Reasonably Safe to Say,"The Price of Engraving Will Be Similar to that of the Prices in Tattooing."     If You Have your Own Artwork, and Exact Size Line-Drawings, You Will Cut Costs Considerably........Sometimes by as Much as Half !!

4.  How Long Does It take ?

     Normal  Turnaround  Time Is  Usually Within Two Weeks!  All Work Is Done  On a First Come------First  Served  Basis.       I Normaly Have a Considerable "Backlog" which Means........ "It Is Very Important For Your Parts to Be in My Shop and Ready to be Engraved When Your Appointment Time Comes Up."   If Your Parts Are'nt Here and Ready At The Appointed Time Slot...........You Go To The BACK of the LIST!!    "ABSOLUTLY NO EXCEPTIONS".  Which Very Well Could Mean From Six Months Up to a Year.....Depending on My Workload  At the Time.

5.  Can I buy My Parts Thru You ?

      The ONLY Parts I Sell,  are the Ones That I Manufacture.  At the Present Time,  the Only thing I'm Making are The H-D Point Covers (7075-T6 Alum).   I am Not a Dealer Nor a Parts House, It's up to you to Provide the Parts You want Engraved.  Possibly in the Future I May Carry Some   Parts on a Limited Basis.

6.  What Condition Should My Parts Be In for You To                 Engrave ?

    "THIS IS IMPORTANT".......ALL Parts MUST be sent to us in either a "POLISHED, ANODIZED, or BEAD BLASTED" condition!!  These are the ONLY  THREE WAYS we will accept  your parts!!  By Polished , we mean Ready for the Plating Tanks, this goes for ALL NEW parts too, as they usually have  a clear powder coating over the polished  surface.    Please CONTACT US for further special instructions concerning your parts before shipping to us .....ABSOLUTLY NO CHROME parts will be accepted. (Please see the above question regarding Plated Parts)

7.  Can I Buy Any of Your Work in Shops or Thru Dealers ?

      "ALL" of My Work is "ONE of a KIND , HAND ENGRAVED,  ART WORK"
At the present time we are  discussing with a couple of the more Progressive Shops, along with a few of the countrys Finest and Most Respected Builders and Painters, the possibilities of them carrying my work,  "EXCLUSIVEly" in their areas.  This can Only work to Benifit the owners of the fine custom vehicles being built, as it will co-ordinate the Building, Painting, and  Engraving into the final design results. 
      As soon as all the little details of these negotiations are completed, I will announce the Names and Locations of these "SELECT" Dealers here on this web-site and through our E-Mailing List.
     We are really looking forward to working with these selected Shops and Individuals.
    If you would like to be placed on our mailing lists, please contact  us through this site.
