I will also ship out if the quality and price is right.

MY local chrome shop does great work. I am already down 1 arm, 1 leg. :rolleyes: | | | | | Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 586 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 586 | For best results use Paul's Chrome in Pa.On the web @ www.paulschrome.com Gazim is right,good sevice isn't cheap and cheap service isn't good.

Take a look at my Chrome Shop album and do a search on chrome. You'll get an idea for what's involved and how many limbs you'll sacrifice.

I know chroming is not cheap,and I am willing to pay for a good job. I had my bumpers rechromed on my 57 convertible and the shop did a crappy job and the chrome looks washed out. Too many premadonnas out there promising but not delivering. I heard of Pauls in PA, I will give them a call.

The one name that came up consistantly was this outfit. http://www.newenglandchrome.com I saw work they did on a Pontiac Woody and Several 50's Chevy Sedans, and it looked nice. I plan to talk to them about some work I want done. The other place I was going to talk to was Manchester Motor Cars. They do restoration work on a contract basis, partial to full frame off. I suspect they have sources, I was going to use them for redoing the seat with material from SMC. Disclaimer - I have no affiliation with either of these enterprises. Regards, Mike
