I have been using:

Bright Metals of the Heights
626 E 11th St
Houston, Texas 77008

Ask for Gus Olivares and tell him Bill Wright sent you. They just did some stuff for me this week and it shipped out today, can't wait to get my items. Tony Whatley told me about them and now I use them. They do great work, great prices and a good turn around time.

Here's a few things they did for me:

As Bill said, Bright Metals does excellent work. All the chrome or polished parts on my '69 and '02 were chromed by them. Yes, they do aluminum polishing too
