Try Advance Chrome Connection on Main in FW.
They have done dozens of parts for me when I was restoring some vintage motorcycles and I have never had anything but great results. Service is quick, too.

Oh My God!!
James,
I can't believe it! I was sure the car was about as polished as anything I have seen to date, but I don't think there is anyone around here that can get that Kirkham fully submerged in a chroming tank, geez!!!!!!!!!!!! Some people are never satisfied!

Thanks guys.
John, since I can't dunk the entire car, I will just have to settle for polishing and chroming the following parts
the bolt washers that hold the seats in
the 6 pins on each hub that hold the wheels on
valve stem caps
back of the brake pads
cotter pins on the slave cylinder
etc...
you know me... it is all about the details

It's much easier just to scotch-brite everything
But, I guess it's a little too late for that.
And, if you're not going to buy Jeannie jewelry, you might as well make her car sparkle.

His name is Brad Shelby in Garland.
I do not have his number or address. I believe Rob at KCM has it. I'll try and get it from him, or you may just want to call Rob at the shop.
