A proud day for Tru6

A great day today in my close to 8 years of Tru6, Porsche Classic Factory Restoration Montreal is using us for anodizing services for two 1970 911S's they are restoring. I'm going up to Montreal to meet the team and see their shop in a few weeks.

Also completed our first 72-73 black anodized grille today. It's going on the 911 in last Summer's Top Gun, going to the Petersen Museum for a cars in movies exhibit. Quite a challenge as you have to assemble the grille and anodize it as one piece.

Sweet giga.

Although I’m not clear on how Tom Cruises love interest was able to afford and air cooled 911 and a $350,000 J125 but maybe you gave her a discount on your services. I guess every little bit counts.

Very nice, but can you do that trick faded purple color? ;-)

Tell me about your anodizing. I'm now teaching the anodizing class at work, and I'm interested in the chemistry that you use. You can take it to PMs if you'd prefer.
