If so, who did you have do the polish and chrome for you? BTW this is the 100th anniversary of the 1911! I see you kept the original sights. I have two Gold Cups, but I am trying to get my first one back from Jim Hoag. It will have the old Bomar rear sight on it which I have had since the 80's and never installed. Can't get them anymore which is a shame. Did you keep the Gold Cup sear and spring? Most people don't that the little pin to hold it all together when you reassemble it so the leave them out. BTW, you can order the parts direct from Midway USA if you need them.
