Great idea Drifty; at least there would be no irate owners popping up in a couple of years! May I suggest that once you have the chassis finished you leave them outside over the Winter to develop a nice patina prior to finishing off. Likewise once you have stamped up your chassis plates cover in grease and floor sweeping leaving again for a couple of months before cleaning with an oily rag!

Sorry to give away the trade secrets!
