I have been using Electroplating of El Paso for everything I have done so far for the 39 Chrysler i am building and have been very happy with what they have done except for 2 grille pieces. I contacted Rueben,mailed them back and he redid them.they did 20 pieces of the grille,hood bird,nos tail light bezels and some other odds and ends.i had some parts done at Cambridge Custom Chrome in Cambridge, Ontario for my 67 Impala wagon,they do fantastic work but pricey.i emailed them pictures of what I wanted done for the 39,they answered back $6000.00.the man who owns our local machine shop building a 57 Cadillac told me he was using a place in Calgary, Alberta, Alberta Plating so I emailed the same pictures, $5500.00.then I emailed the pictures to Rueben and it was $1700.00.i preach all the time about how you get what you pay for,that's why I always try to buy quality stuff but really,I can't see any reason why the parts from Cambridge on my wagon are 3 times the price of what El Paso did for my Chrysler?
