Good work costs GOOD money $$$
I always use Advance Plating in Nashville TN. They will be at the NSRA Knoxville event this weekend. They are at the major shows on the east and I just hand Tom the piece and he tells me " How Much " ...
I had 4 bumpers braces recently done for my 32 3W ... and it was six hundred dollars ... but they are NICE ...

What Deuce says is true. They seem to have the reputation as being about as good as it gets. I had them do my '27 steering arm years ago, and it was $100.00. I decided for a daily driver I didn't need that quality on everything, so I used Action Chrome Plating in Opa Locka, Fl for the rest. They were much cheaper, but I have to say Advance' chrome looks deeper and of better quality.

Advance has always been at York in June. You can also try Paul's.
I've seen both, and they seem about the same

Just a general comment to go along with the flow. When you get ripped on chrome it's more on the quality side than the price side (though it's tough to separate the two). Out here it's gotten to where you can almost bet you'll have to reject the first delivery attempt for scratches, ripples, pits, or "nickle" spots. The bulk of their business must be from price only shoppers where they get away with delivering poor quality.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

I have heard rodders say that Advance was way too high or that it cost a them a ton of $$$ ... But I have NEVER heard a bad word about the quality ... Originally Posted by Bob Parmenter

I generally pick up an Advance price catalog every year and usually decide that paint is really best for me - I do have to say that their stuff is nicely done, just not sure why I need to spend that amount of money. Originally Posted by Bob Parmenter

They are shown to be at York June 1-3 as well - I just don't have anything for plating right now. I'll be selling some surplus treasures at the swap meet and may not get too much chance to wander anyhow as I'll be alone - my buddy has a sick wife.Dave

Is Advanced Plating turn time reasonable. I could live with the higher prices if the quality was there and had reasonable turn time. I've heard stories where it was months getting some stuff plated by other platers.

Bumper braces??? Bumpers??? On a deuce??? You don't need no stinking bumpers on a hot rod.
I'm sorry. Spoke too soon, I didn't realize it was a resto-rod.
Outside of that, Advance does excellent work, super quality. Can be a little slow at times depending on volume of business, but overall excellent vendor. Chrome work is a little pricey every place now thanks to the EPA.

I have a pair of resto rods ... with 430 horsepower each.
I think that a 32 looks better ( finished ) with fenders and bumpers ... but then ... I HAVE fenders and bumpers to use.
