Bill Barker ChatMaster Registered: 11/20/01 Posts: 3318 Loc: Issaquah, WA	Like everyone else, I've had good and bad experiences with chrome shops over the past 25 years. $\:\($ I'm being "forced" to go back again in order to get some of my '31 Landau parts completed. Does anyone know anything about a Chroming Place in Alberta, Canada that is suppose to be good? Supposedly they pick up and deliver to the States. _________________________ Bill Barker VCCA CHAT Administrator

Martin's of Philly 215 331 5565 I have tried several other shops in the interim, in an attempt to save some $$. I was ALWAYS disappointed with the results. There is nothing in this world more beautiful than the toothy grin of a '60 Corvette grille done by Martin's - as it reflects from itself and within the surround. They are true craftsman and they stand behind their work! $\:\)$ That's my professional opinion.... _________________________ Oliver J. Giorgi Technical Advisor 1958 Passenger Car

Of course the irony is that some of the parts that I want to chrome are the ones that I bought at Hershey, PA - had them shipped to Seattle, and now will return them to Philly for final processing! ha! Oh, the things that we do to give our old Chevys a facelift! _________________________ Bill Barker VCCA CHAT Administrator
