[6pack] Where have all the platers gone?

Depending on what it will cost to replate there is a stainless steel set available now and people that have bought them rave about them.  

You might want to search the 6-PACK website for stainless steel bumpers or chrome platers to get more info. There are pictures and prices on there as well on some of the posts.

Dave, 
I have heard from others that they do decent work but have never used them.
I have used Nu-Chrome of Fall River MA and do not recommend them.  If you do
a Google search you will see tons of complaints every one of which I have
experienced.  One of the issues with the late model TR6 bumper is the steel
bar inside the bumper.  Not sure if they had the same steel piece in the
late 74 or not but this makes re-chroming difficult,. The steel reinforcing
bar makes it very difficult to repair the outside skin from inside and it
needs to be removed to do a proper job.  The welds need to be ground out and
this will increase the cost and time.  I had one company, Keystone, send my
bumper back to me due to the steel bar, they could not work on it.
