Chrome Shop!

[disco_charger]

Any body out here in So Cal know of a good chrome shop? I went to MJB in Rialto and they want $250 to chrome my old MT valve covers. Yikes! I only paid $85 to do the ones on the Charger....

Try Verne's Chrome Plating in Gardena, Calif. He has done much work on vintage cars including my 67 Nova SS, and does it right for a reasonable price. wink

Disco- You could also try Decore Chrome Plating in Gardena, Ca. The guys name is Don and he is really cool. Does great work. His # is 310-324-6755. Address: 434 W. 164th St., Gardena, CA 90248.

eric Its like a band-aid. Will only work for a short time till you get it re-chromed correctly.

Are they aluminum? If so, why not have them polished?

[Kwicherbichen]

Try Santa Ana Plating but make sure you get it in soon or it won't be ready when you want to play. They can take about 2-4 weeks to get to your stuff.

[disco_charger]

They are aluminum, and I don't want to spend the rest of my life polishing. Chrome is the way to go...I'll try Santa Ana Plating.

[jet4fun]

you should try polishing with a clear anodize over it, i know a couple people with this who say its great, holds up like chorme(dont have to keep repolishing)...

Yup! they sure will......... for the price of a brand new set from basset eek! eek! eek! jawdrop jawdrop I tried that option and those guys are insane :eek:with thier prices. You can have them jethotted for about $300 and it looks good. I personally like chrome headers but if I had no choice I would go jethott!

What about Bassett water injected Headers will chrome shops re-chrome them and for how much? i tried that option too. not only is it almost as much as a new set of headers, but i called bassett and rewarder and they both said not to do it because when the headers are built they are polished before assembly. once you have them re-chromed you cant polish between the pipes, so it ends up a really shitty chrome job.
personally either live with it, or sell your old pipes and kick out the 650 for a new set... i am now the proud owner of 2 sets, 1 blued to the tips from the previous owner that didnt like water :confused: , and the second pair a brand new set i bought at bassett last summer(hey, came with a free t-shirt :D )
