Default Rick Applegate

Several years ago I had Rick Applegate - Areba in Tennessee do a lot of chrome and stainless work for my 1960 Corvette. I understand that he is retired now. Has someone taken over his shop and services. If so, does anyone have the contact info for the shop now days and also has anyone had work done recently at this location? I was very pleased with the work that Rick did for me and would be willing to send more to the shop if they are doing nice work and still in business. If not around anymore, where do you send your C1 stainless to be polished and re- flash plated?
Thank You, Greg

[QUOTE=Advanced Plating in Nashville, TN.

Thank you for the reply! Is this the old Areba shop or one that you have used with good results?

I used to know Rick, but I was never at his shop. I do not think that Advanced Plating is in the same location.

A number of my friend's have used Advanced Plating. They are expensive, but do top notch work.
