I had two of my 3600 hood emblems chromed by him and could not believe the price ($10 each piece) and the quality. I suspected the quality would be good as he had been recommended by a local rod shop, SACHSE

I've been looking for a chrome bumper and bumper guards for a 55-56 GMC 370 for several years. On his last trip to the Fredericksburg swap meet, WD brought me a painted bumper and bumper guards that would probably chrome pretty well. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 667 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 667 | Would like to hear more myself. Have a '46 grill that is painted steel but in great shape.

Airline Plating did my grill, turned out beautifully, but not cheap - about $500. Show chrome triple plated quality though. Came recommended from Texas Built Muscle Cars (who does awesome muscle car resto's for anyone interested)
To find it, google it.
