Terry, My personal experience is yes - "They are good"! They have replated nearly all the chrome on my TC and every piece is perfect. They took out many dings and warps in my headlight buckets and grill shell. They copper plate as many multiple times as necessary to build up the surface untill it is possible to polish it out perfectly. Then they follow with the nickle and finally the chrome plating. I also had my headlight reflectors resilvered with the same great results.

We had occasion to repair a TF radiator shell in 1989 There were none in the world to buy and we suffered a severe crumple of the front end (some restorer had not replaced the strap iron bar which belongs behind the chrome bumper) We were referred by an Allstate appraiser to: Pauls Chrome Plating 198 Mars-Valencia Rd. Mars, Pennsylvania 16046 1800-245-8679 in PA 412-625-3165 They were in business as of MG 2000 (June 2000) I had a gift certificate from them through ENMGR. The cost was $800 then but the work done was exceeding fine. Sally Carroll

Your Correct Red Barron. Nu Chrome in Fall River, Mass do incredible work and will rebuild rusted out parts to new condition. The Quality is there and the price is fair because every thing comes out brand new. _ believe they advertise in Hemmings. Tally Ho! Thom Collins

Hi Ray, Jon Wright at Custom Chrome Plating has done miracles with my radiator shell. When he got it, two other shops had buffed holes in it, and the sides were wavy and heat stressed. He made it look like new, with new studs etc. 20 plus years ago he chromed the Tickford headlamp shells, 6 months ago I got around to looking at them and noticed a very small blemish on the bottom of one. I mentioned it to him, he said send them back and he would check them out, they came back 5 days later completely redone, his compliments. He has done hundreds of parts for me, all perfect, no streaks, show quality, etc. so I guess I am spoiled. Like Craig, it will take a little time to get them back, but it takes time to do it right and the perfection is worth it. The usual disclaimers etc. Address is : Custom Chrome Plating 963 Mechanic St. Grafton,OH, 44044 440-926-3116 Cheers, Lee Jacobsen, Dearborn, MI. TA2969
