All: A while ago, Keith Boonstra recommended a chrome plating shop; that he had used for parts of his 300C, Custom Plating Specialists Inc. in Brillion, Wisconsin. The diecast pieces on the rear of my K were showing every bit of their 55 years of service, with the usual crazing and pitting. Curiously, my K is originally a Wisconsin car. I decided to go with Keith’s recommendation and sent my pieces to Custom Plating Specialists. I am glad I did. The parts came back beautifully chromed. There was some loss of definition on the edges of the fluted pieces; but I expected that. Thirty years ago, I had my K convertible restored at RM Restorations, a world renowned shop and they sent the identical pieces to the best plating shop in Canada. I would say the parts that I just had done are comparable. Even with the US money exchange rate and customs duties, I am still saving money. I would like to thank Keith for his recommendation and I would like to thank the employees at Custom Plating Specialists, who did such a great job on my diecast pieces. 300ly bill __._,_.___ Posted by: "william ELDER" <belder@xxxxxxxxx> To send a message to this group, send an email to: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or go to https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/all/manage/edit For list server instructions, go to http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm For archives go to http://www.forwardlook.net/300-archive/search.htm#querylang __,_._,___ |
