Well Cletis, if misery loves company - you and I need to go have a beer.
Suffice to say, I am not happy. My recomendation at this point is that while Superior Chrome might be good for bumpers or easy to chrome stuff, the attention to detail and care required to straighten, polish and chrome grills and grill crowns is lacking.
I will end up having this work redone locally on the parts that can be salvaged, one grill crown is damaged beyond repair and I need to grind out welds that were used to stabilize grill bars that need to float in order to be assembled.
The crowns were both bent sharply in half due to poor packaging causing the chrome to pop off and tears to form at the center of the crowns. I sent the parts to them in a wooden crate and got them back in a mixed bunch of used cardboard boxes. I am not happy and it looks like I now need to hunt up a new crown and gently grind out all the welds on one grill.
After spending over a grand in chroming costs, to wind up with unusable parts that cannot be assembled . . . I asked Bobby how he wants to address this and am awaiting a response.
