Post by: sodaworks on December 22, 2006, 08:29:02 pm

Here's a photo of a C55 that I am restoring one of my good client's Sam. It will be gutted out tomorrow and a full restoration will follow. Thanks Sam for waiting patiently.

I've never done rechroming, I've always had good chrome on machines... what does it cost to do bezels, coin plates, etc? is it per peice or quantity?
how does that work..
I may want to rechrome stuff on the new project I got.

Thanks

Here's the C55 without its innards. The bottom pan is rusted out and will have to be replaced with new metal.
