The only plater I see in Florida is 'Pot Metal Restorations' in Tallahassee.
850-562-3857. You can ask them for references.
Merry Christmas!

Hey Mark. There is a company over in Melbourn that does some nice work. They advertise in the Cruise News every month. If you do not have a copy laying around, I will get the info for you.

a frined of mine just bought a company in daytona that does powder coating and chrome plating. they have very large contracts with the govenment and other parts makers. he is local to our area. i can see if he can do it for you if you want. i did see a shifter plate his company did and it looked very good.

"All American Powder Coating" Lutz Fla. Just outside of Tampa.
google the name, I believe chrome and media blasting is done there also.
'Perry Mead' owner.
You may reference me to him,
Wally Knoch

That would be Spacecoast Plating. Phone 321-254-2880. Sounds like Ironcross has a closer company for you. Will you be coming up to NCRS this year?

Yes how about you? I would like to get my seats re-done. May get Al Knoch to do it. Little pricey but you don't have to pay shipping!!!

J & M Stainless Repair - and Chroming
John rechromed my rear bumpers, rechromed my bumperettes, and rechromed my pot-metal original front grills.
FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! work.
The chrome work got many great reviews and comments from the NCRS judges the last two regionals I attended.
John's # is 386-445-7032 (office)
386-569-9631 (cell)
he is in Bunnell FL (by Daytona).
---------
PS:
he also re-anondized my rocker panels and polished every piece of stainless on the car.

Not sure when I will be there except for the car show on Sunday. Our club is driving the cars over the auction block for the Mecum auction at the Silver Spurs arena/exibition hall. It is on the same days as the NCRS shows.

I just moved out to Apollo Beach and in my travels I see these people (their sign) and I also believe there might be some one up north too near New Tampa area Bears and 30th st? I can't vouch for their work but I believe all of this is closr to you than some of the others.

which day (if-any) would be good for the C3 owners of Polk County & central Florida to attempt going en-masse to the NCRS event at Kissimmee in January?
I went the first year I lived here (Lakeland) in '07, then missed last year, but wouldn't mind meeting other C3 owners and hangin'-out.
..... thread hijack is now concluded, and we return you to 'Bowling for Dollars', already in-progress.....

Hey anything in or near Louisville Ky? What kind of cost and quality differences are there going that route compared to buying them new off zip,ecklers,ect? I need all my chrome either replated or replaced.

If you are in central florida, Space Coast plating should be pretty close. I know quite a few people who have used them and there work is very good. I will be talking to them when I get back for my rechroming.
