1958-62 Rechromed Bumpers

This service is for re-chroming bumpers used on 1958-62 Corvettes.  The bumpers are  plated and returned to you.  The core submitted must be a good useable core and have no rust through, broken bolts, or have extra holes drilled into the bumpers as we cannot fix the holes and present the customer with a show quality product.  Call us for your chrome plating needs as we are very affordable.  Time: 3-4 weeks.

$215/corner

$85/rear verticles

$125/center rear


1953-62 Rechromed Windshield Posts

Your windshield posts are plated and returned to you.  Extra care is given to the cores by assigning a job number to your core to insure only yours is returned to you.   Cores having extra drilled holes for tonneau covers are not acceptable as cores as the holes are not repairable. Reasonably pitted cores are not a problem. If tabs are broken see next item for repair.   Time: 2-3 weeks

$215/each      


1953-62 Windshield Posts  Lower Tab Repair

The lower tab on the leading edge of the windshield post is prone to being broken off. A repair service is offered where a tool steel tab is fabricated in the same configuration as the original, then inserted in a milled pocket in the post. When completed, the tab is several times stronger than the original and has the same configuration as the original allowing a perfect installation. The two stud holes are heli-coiled and new studs are provided to insure a perfect repair. All repairs are done prior to plating.  Time:  2 weeks

$89/tab
