1949 Radiator Shell

Post by Robert Lines » Wed Sep 18, 2019 2:40 pm

I need some help.  My 1949 MGTC radiator shell is in pretty rough shape.  It needs some lead work in places that are very thin and then I can get it re-chromed.
Anyone out there know of someone who does this work?
Thanks

I'm interested in the same service...have a shell that has the chrome removed but needs some work before replating. Robert, I'd appreciate it if you share replies.

Gentlemen: Without reservation I highly recommend Walker's Custom Chrome, 2145 Grand Coulee Blvd, Shasta Lake, CA 96019; phone (530) 275 3634. As I cannot tell by your email addresses where you are located, you may have to ship your parts at your expense. When I was restoring my '48 TC several years ago, Walker's used to be located in Vacaville, CA which is about 40 miles west of Sacramento. They moved to Shasta Lake because of the stringent environmental regulations imposed by the city (I was told) and the owner's father had an existing rechroming business in Shasta Lake. Anyway, the quality of their work is top notch (not cheap, but worth it). Andy in Sacramento On 9/18/2019 3:51 PM, 'arm@telus.net' arm@telus.net [mg-tabc] wrote:

Robert, If you are in the Midwest, USA, another top notch source of Chrome plating is Customchrome, in Grafton , Ohio. I have been using them for at least 30 years, they have never disappointed.    A few years ago, they did my deplorable  TC shell, fixing holes , replacing studs, etc.  Cost was around $700.   Timing was about 2 months....   Two choices of chrome, high quality, which is near perfect, (my choice) and concours, absolute perfection.   Cheers, Lee  Jacobsen, Dearborn, MI   TC0780    -----Original Message----- From: 'Andrew P.

Re: 1949 Radiator Shell

Post by jeffrey townsend » Wed Sep 18, 2019 11:26 pm

Hi Robert, Could you confirm to the group which Country you are in so local suppliers can be suggested.  Not sure that lead on a brass shell is correct.  My TB shell was dented and thin from previous rechroming. Derby Plating in the UK   removed the dents and copper plated it to build up thickness before chroming. They did a great job.  Regards  Jeff Townsend N Cambridgeshire UK TA1957.   TB0489.  Sent from my iPhone

I have used Graves Plating down in Alabama. They do Concours work and can hammer out dings dents, make major repairs to headlight Buckets and Radiator shells. Great work, service and the people there are quite professional.BruceTC #2721 XPAG #3355 Sent from my iPad

For those in the UK I'd recommend London & Brighton Plating. Perversely they are in Shoreham! Regards Peter

Graves Plating in Florence, AL did mine several years ago and did a great job. I have used them on other cars and would recommend them.

Core(y) industries in Kent, Ohio can repair but don't do Plating! Jan
