Pittsburgh Pa. Paul's Chrome Plating. I have worked a deal with my boss to build bumpers on the side but to use Paul's for the plating. As I said before this post is not to promote my employer but to help my deal get started.

I had some stuff chromed there several years ago, top notch. They have an outstanding reputation for quality. I think you may have a hit on your hands if you can keep up with demand.

I'd be real interested and I'm only about 3 hours away. If we could some how hook up to fit the bumpers before there chromed. Are you going to Carlise next week or Hershey the following week?

:thumbsup: on the bolts.

I won’t be in Carlisle or Hershey for the shows. But the one office manager from Paul’s Chrome will. He will be able to answer any questions you may have and also give you a price if you have the bumpers with you. I plan to post some pictures Friday of the 70 Chevelle front bumper. I am going to post some pics of a 57 Chevy that we did the bumpers for. I can’t take credit for the custom work but I can for the straitening and chrome work. The front was a 3 piece and both had all the bolts shaved. You can see on the rear we removed the recessed area’s below the back up lights. But this is some of the work I can do. I will dig up some more pics of other bumper.

Just as an aside, I have had a lot of chrome work done by Paul's, including some difficult restoration of potmetal trim pieces, in my personal opinion there is no better shop for chrome work in the country, period. Paul's also has en extremely high hit rate on the schedule commitments that they make. Rare to find both of those (extremely high quality and good turnaround) in a chrome shop.
