Any experiences or cautions gladly accepted, opinions too!
Thanks.
Gary, there are shops that continue to do beautiful show quality plating. I send all of my work to The Chrome Shop in Menasha,WI. The owner, Steve is a true craftsman and a very ethical one at that. He does what he promises and delivers when he promises.
Not a place to send the stuff you want good enough for a 'driver'. Rather, the place to send stuff you want done for a true concourse restoration.
