Thumbs up Chrome Plating Gods!

I have used Nu-Chrome in Fall River Mass. I live in Westfield also. I met them at the autoshow at the Big-E a couple years back. They do awesome show quality restoritive chroming. I happened to be going to their area on business so I dropped my stuff off and paid up front. They shipped it back like new. They aren't convenient, or the cheapest, but they do very good work. They have a bumper that they did half of which they bring to show their work. Half looks new, and half looks too bad to go on Fred Sanford's truck. If you know anyone who works at Electro-Plating in Westfield. They do nickel plating, and can send chrome work out to another place that sub contracts that work from them. They nickel plated my engine supports on my AMX and they came out pretty cool. I hope this helps.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I have seen NuChrome as well, was just hoping to find someone closer. Queried switchboard.com for plating in Spfld and found a few places. Have had some anodizing done @ Westfield Electroplating, my issue was they were not consistent with their coating jobs. The same colors varied between jobs. Now I want to change it all.

Oh, I think I have seen you around the streets of Westfield, possibly even my neighborhood?, heard a car coming (while in my house) looked out the window and saw a 'bird driving away in the distance. ...Ronin's old car?

Yes, that is the Formula. I bought it off of him last spring when he was expecting their first baby. He thought he was out, but didn't work out that way. He has since bought a 93 Z-28 w/like 200K+ miles on it. He has gone through it on a low dollar build up. And we will be at Lebanon together this year shutting down the rice together. His Z should be running strong. Especially with what he paid for it.
I live off of Southwick Road. Most of the time you see my car around it is my wife driving it. I don't drive it around town too much. I have a truck for back and forth to work, and I have a yellow 1969 AMX I drive also. Do you live in my neck of the woods?

Yes, I know I have seen your car, and yes, I do believe it was a woman driving it. ...I live up by Stanley Park, so I guess it's kinda in your area. My 'bird doesn't see too much duty as a try to keep it under 1200mi per year, and last year put on a whopping 374mi, my S10 is my daily driver.
