Where can you get metal parts such as chrome wheels re-chromed?

You can probably get them done locally. Check the yellow pages. Prepare for sticker shock!  ------------------

Brandon, You will need to call a shop local to your area. When you say "front and rer chrome" do you mean bumpers? The last I checked it was going to cast around $250 a bumper if I remember correctly here in Louisiana. ------------------

It will be cheaper to buy new, plus someone will more than likely buy your old to help pay for replacements.
Good chrome plating is expensive!

Thanks guys. I was hoping to catch a break by having my wheels re-chromed but it looks like I'm going to have to replace them eventually.

Yeah Steve, I was quoted 275.00 do chrome both hinges and both springs, instead I had them just nickle plate them for 20.00ea. They are not shiney but have a clean metal silver appearence. To have the alum. Cobra rocker covers and oval aircleaner done in show quality chrome was 850.00 less the cost of the items---ouch!---but nice  Look for the Nov. issue of Mustangs & Fords, from what I have heard, my yellow Mach should be featured in that issue [This message has been edited by Gary (edited 09-25-2002).]
