bumper re-chroming for 67 442
Can anyone give me the names of re-chroming shops that will do a good job at a reasonable price. My bumpers are in nice condition (no dings or rust) just getting those nasty little black (pepper) spots all over. I've seen prices from $350.00 to $1200.00 a piece. Or would I be ok going with ones from a place like "The Parts Place" and trying to sell the ones I have?

Have your bumpers replated.
It sounds like people have had good experiences and prices with a place called Ogden chrome.There are some others,I'm sure other members will chime in.
If you do buy aftermarket don't sell your originals otherwise in a few years when your sick of the aftermarket bumpers,you'll be looking for original cores to have redone.

Make sure you stay away from the Bummer Boyz. And I wasn't happy with Pauls in PA.
Some places that satisfied me for the price I paid;

There is a place in Brainerd MN called North Star, I used them and was satisfied but can't find the website now.

I've used Ogden chrome several times, there work is very good but you won't get them done for $350.
If you live out west they pickup and deliver for free from many body shops hundreds of miles away.

In certain areas rust free and straight cores are hard to find. As already said keep yours and have them done. I have had good luck with Tri City. They charge about 500 each to redo and shipping would add to the cost.

A lot of Chevy guys like Tri City Plating out of Tennessee.
Also, if you have a little piece to be chromed, sometimes you can gauge your experience with them and their product with it first. My 67 is going to need everything chromed except the front bumper, so I may do that method.

Need to know your location since shipping will be a good part of the cost. I have used Tri-City out of Tennessee in the past. They used to pick up and deliver at Carlisle. Here in the northeast, I would use Sandy's out of Syracuse. Used them with good results on my front bumper

I had mine done with triple plate lifetime show chrome and they dont charge extra for straightening the company is goodmark I went through Keystone body shop supply here in Wi they were $475 each two years ago and still look great my front bump was really twisted too

Keystone owns North Star in MN (mentioned in my first post on this thread). You can drop your bumper at a body shop serviced by Keystone/LKQ and they will send it to North Star via their trucking fleet, then deliver it back to the body shop where you dropped it off, no shipping fees.
