Hi All,
I have a 66 VC Valiant that needs the front bar straightened and re-chromed.
Is there anyone in Sydney that can straighten them before re-chroming ???

There is a guy on the central coast who is the gas. My mate's old man restores all the FX holden grills for Rare spares, and he sends stuf to him for chrome.

Ok Shaun I am interested - I have some bumper-bars that need re-chroming. How scary would the cost be?

Pity you're not in Victoria, Vinney's does a great job of repairing & replating.

I'll have to chase up Roy and find out who he is ,as I want some Jag ones done as well. The bloke a Dolley's Rocks Rd was ok as well. Last lot I had done by the old bloke a Wondal rd wynnum was $600 each. He charged me 290 for an MGA grill suround and to be truthfull it wasn't that good, lucky I'm selling it.

I do not want to sound like a tight-ass but at $600 a shot it would have to be a first class job.

I am still interested in the information if you get a chance.

So BLKBNY: What would the estimated price be in VIC?

Yeah and they weren't, hense why we need to find out who Roy uses, he did his 56 chev coupe bars I think as well. Chrome aint cheap, unless it's done in China it seems.

I think vinney said $300 or so , for used bars. I was quoted about $200 to rechrome new bumpers

$300 for the pair I would be very interested. I do assume it is a triple coat - meaning they don't (conveniently) forget the first copper coat?

I wonder what it would cost to get them to him?

shaunp · « **Reply #9 on:** October 21, 2010, 09:42:27 am »

Think it would be 300 each, Boof.

I can live in hope. Though I agree with you - if it is to good to be true then it most likely is. I have just read the sentence literally.
