Platers
Ray I hope it all works out for you. I have been dealing with platers since building my first street rod in 1971..that ought to date me. I used a small one in Denver where I lived that you had to go down each week and prod them. Then I had a great one in Harrisburg PA that got bought out. All my chrome 34 pieces is now at a plater in Fayetteville NC. They have had it about 5 weeks and I dont expect it back for another three. They have all the bumpers bumperettes, dash and windshield trim and are doing a "show plating" on them. Because of what you mentioned the cost of what I am having done is through the roof. Someone on here mentiioned that a full chroming was expensive and it is only going to get worse.
By the way I love the wheel covers on your bird they are exactly like the ones I had on my 54 Olds convert when I was a kid...swapped them out for baby moons and beauty rings...
