Two new sources for chrome plating

[BobT-47P15]

While at the Zephyrhills swap meet today i

ran onto two places that do chrome plating...

One also says they straighten and buff

Stainless. One place is in Tenn, the other in

Wisc. Will post more detailed info on the

Referrals page. Seems like there was

Thread not long ago about possible

Sources for chrome work.

There is a chrome plating shop in Johnson City, Tenn. that does chrome plating, straighten, etc., life time warranty,

 

as long as you own the vehicle.

 

I called about a 49 bumper, they had one ready to go with an exchange, and a 2 week wait to do my other bumper.

Mr. Horne,

If you don't mind, how much did it cost and were you happy with the result?

Thanks, RFC

I ended up selling the 49, before I got to do the bumper, sorry...

I had my '54 front and rear bumpers - with guards- rechromed by "Sandy's Bumper Mart" in Syracuse NY.....Winters mean a $20% off over $200 of work.

I'm fussy- my bumpers are beautiful.....Both bumpers and four guards cost me $900 last year. (Shipping not included.)

Their "street quality" work rivals "show quality." Just my opinion.

i just  seen  a  tv  show  grave year cars..they  had  just  recieved  a  re chromed 72 charger  bumper and they were impressed,,,  a  place called  bumper  depot,,,,im assuming its up in the  north  west,,,any one heard of it???
