[6pack] Where have all the platers gone?

The EPA and OSHA got them. I'm in AL and had to send my bumpers to CA to get good work at a decent price.  Who would of thunk it?  CA of all states.

Dave,
USA regulations have driven the chrome re-plating process the
ceiling........do you have deep pockets? Hopefully someone will have some
recommendations for you.

Hey List!

Everyone loves a deep chrome shine and I've seen many fine examples of
excellent chrome work on all sorts of show cars. What I am having a hard
time locating is a reliable source of chrome plating (replating) for TR
bumpers, (and assorted other parts) in the New England area. I have heard
LOTS of horror stories: Price gouging, lost parts, swapped parts, sketchy
business practices, looonnnggg lead times, etc.

So, can anyone recommend a good New-England-area chrome plating house or is
that a bit of an oxymoron, these days? Do I really HAVE to ship my parts off
to Canada?

Ever hopeful,
