Last I heard he was prepping the Grands for plating... I dont think any of the Nickel-plated ones have been posted/sold yet. Only pics available are the ones Rob posted!
Last I talked to Rob he said he would have to think about the Grands.
I don't think he wants to (or should have to) run them and wind up with the same loss as he did the minis.
And none have been sold yet, once they are you will see pics.
Mea culpa, I thought some plated minis were sold last week. 60% is terrible loss, but it doesn't change the fact I would love to get my grubby reo loving mitts one one ;-) I would scramble for either a mini or grand. I missed the opening of the sale and just saw sold out. Addicted.......youbetcha! 
Sorry my friend I just make what you folks ask for
I am up in the air on the nickel plated mods if I do run them again I will try another shop.I was under the impression they would be shiny and there not they have a flat look to them .I have to run some test mods before I dive in deep
I will have nickel plated mini mods on friday
No grands yet not even sure if I will run any of them.I lost many to scratches I will keep you folks informed
I've purchased Millions of dollars worth of plating jobs, and I don't really understand whats happening.
For a 50 Qty, they should be wire and racking them to dip .... How exactly are they scratching them ??
I have two shops within 15 miles from my house that would hang them and dip, then they wrap individually in brown paper.
The fact that they are scratching them is unacceptable .....
Again, sorry for trouble. Thanks again for trying for us though.

Yeah, and you would think that if the scratches are in the plate, that they could strip and re coat them...unless they are so deep that they're into the parent metal...
If I had to guess, I'd say they're scratching them during packing/shipping... which is totally unacceptable. A dip shouldnt do that...
It is the shop that makes the doors that is scratching them. Rob said that he has complained to them many times. This is the same problem he had with the polished anodized versions. It is not the finish but the underlying aluminum plate. Apparently the non polished anodizing hides the scratches.

That is correct its the machine shop that scratches the doors.I have gone through a couple machine shops as most of you no.I have complained about it from day 1.The only way I will ever get perfect doors is if I do it myself.I am working on it but I am running hard as it is to keep up
I keep going back and looking at the pics of these and seriously I would buy either the straight gold or straight silver one full price even if it was scratched or not. Wow! I can't stop looking at them!
i totally agree...would make an awesome grand...
..i'd get a door in all the colors i like....and switch off...that would be cool..- Status
