I’m building my last car. High end build.
Rearend, springs, driveshaft, complete front suspension etc is all chrome plated including all the engine components.
You would not believe what I have in chrome plating cost.
I’m currently working on restoring my last car as well. I got all of the chrome done last year. The price has probably tripled in the past 10 years. I decided to get it done before government regulations put the small shops out of business.
