[6pack] Where have all the platers gone?

[Dave]

Thanks for the heads-up, John. Valuable information! I have scoured Maine, 
Vermont, and New Hampshire, so far, for automotive plating sources and have 
come up empty. Looks like the focus is now on Rhode Island, Mass. and 
Connecticut.

Hopefully, SOMETHING legitimate will turn up not having a litany of tales 
of woe....

Thanks, List, for any responses!
