[omodified]

I received my parts back from the nickel plater. This will let me get a little further with assembly now. I did ask the plater how I was being charged. I thought it was by the pound, but he actually said it was by his time. That answer is a little obscure, but I did separate some things in baggies. He made sure to keep that stuff together which will make organizing it a little easier. I took a few different pics of what got plated which will give you a better idea of what I got for $200. It's a bit pricey, but worth not ever having to worry about rust or wear.
