Where is the best place to get my 70 front bumper re-chromed?

Thx

Check out Knox Custom Chrome in Knoxville Tenn. (888) 588-4552. I met one of their representatives at the recent Corvette Expo in Sevierville, Tenn. and saw some of their work. Looks good.

I have heard nothing but good things about Advance Plating in Nashville. I was just in more of a hurry than Advance had time for.

I had mine done at Shelbyville Plating in Indiana as I live in Indy. They did a good job on the outside, but the backsides are not so good, peeling and rough. The price I thought was reasonable though. They did the front bumper, Front bumper guards, and rears for $725. I was wondering if anyone has ever had a set of side exhaust covers done. They are aluminum I believe, and need to be copper plated. I've heard that plating aluminum and pot metal is very expensive since they have to use copper. Any ideas where to get these done without breaking the bank?
