Default Areba Plating

I haven't had any work done in the last 3-4 years, prior to that, quite a bit. I was very pleased with the work, it was done in a timely fashion (unlike some that take many months or YEARS) & the price, I felt, was always fair. Examples of work: C1 doorposts, C1 bumpers, C2 bumpers, C2 vent window frames, & C2 seat hockey stix plus other misc.
HTH, Bob L.

Previously Rick did the flash chroming on my 63's Windshield Molding and Hubcaps (after Tracy - Project63 did an incredible job of getting all the dings out and polishing them out). I also just had Rick do the bumpers, door handles, trim rings, and other parts off my 72. Great work for a fair price (and anice guy).

I had bumpers done by him about 6 months ago -- great job.

Bumpers are the easy items to do.

How much did he charge per hubcap for flash chroming?

Would someone please post contact info for Rick? Sounds like a good thing to have with old bumpers.

Thanks.
