    Where do you get your chrome plating done?

    Keep up the good work!

    Thanks hard at it
    A place called bright metals in the heights, they do great work. All that in the picks cost me 800.00, which wasnt a bad price.

    Man that is a good price, hows about a heads up on them, maybe a phone number. I have a set of Desoto Hemi valve covers I need plated, mind you these valve covers are in very nice shape. No bends or kinks, they are media blasted and ready to go. The only plater I could find here in Alabama quoted me $725.00. Without seeing them, said the price could be as much as $200 higher depending on there condition. So all of your suspension parts for $800 bucks sounds sweet..

    Pro I have to say OUT LOUD geez man thats way cool . I do like the build and it not being a 1K of the same cars . That would make this whole hobby boring seeing 20 cars lined up and build the same .

    A little shot of mine I do like fenders .
