Thread: chrome for my 32 ...prices ...jersey

Tweet

Is Advanced Plating turn time reasonable. I could live with the higher prices if the quality was there and had reasonable turn time. I've heard stories where it was months getting some stuff plated by other platers.

Deuce posted ..."I had 4 bumpers braces recently done for my 32 3W ... and it was six hundred dollars ... but they are NICE ...


Bumper braces??? Bumpers??? On a deuce??? You don't need no stinking bumpers on a hot rod.

I'm sorry. Spoke too soon, I didn't realize it was a resto-rod.

Outside of that, Advance does excellent work, super quality. Can be a little slow at times depending on volume of business, but overall excellent vendor. Chrome work is a little pricey every place now thanks to the EPA.

OK ...
I have a pair of resto rods ... with 430 horsepower each.



I think that a 32 looks better ( finished ) with fenders and bumpers ... but then ... I HAVE fenders and bumpers to use.

Deuce - what a great looking roadster!! . Bumpers and fenders have their place and on yours they look great. Sometimes I have thought about adding a front bumper to my car (got one on the rear), but just haven't found the right one yet. One could have saved me from a number of headaches over the years, not to mention money.

I just used these guys. They have a location here in FL, that is the one I used. I dropped off my stuff there in person, and they delivered it to one of our local swap meets for me to pick up. I can't speak for the location in MA.

Price: A pair of '32 lower windshield stanchions, door hinges(all 8 pieces), and the top mounts, $350.

Turnaround: I dropped them off on a Thursday, guy says "a couple weeks". 11 AM on Thursday two weeks later - phone rings, "ready".

Quality is great.
