Default where can i get some parts chromed ????

steve could probably answer this for me, but any answers would be appreciated.
parts i am looking to get chromed:
1. Hotchkis STB
2. hood hinges
3. hood latch bracket
4. hood strut brackets
5. hood striker
6. hood lever
just wanna find a chromer that will do an excellent job for a decent price.
and any other steel part i can unbolt from the engine compartment!
thanks

I went with www.calchrome.com They did my wheels, STB, and a few engine brackets.. High quality work, but right now they have quite a line.. The best time is during the Winter, as there usually aren't too many car shows.

This place does great work. They are a little pricey but you get what you pay for in chrome plating.

Anyone know of a "mail in" shop that will take some small parts to chrome and turn them around? Same kind of parts the OP listed. Thx

AAA Chrome and Gold in Tenn. is the best price I found and quality. They have did other cars on here not to mention tons for me. I just send them my parts and they chrome them, call me and send them back. Pretty quick turnaround but not sure if the Summer months slow them down? I do mine in the Winter. Some places have quoted me prices and I've had them send my parts back but AAA Chrome is a lot cheaper and I'm picky because I enter a lot of shows and they done A+ work for me.

Gary, I've recently had some issues with Mike at AAA Chrome and will no longer be using him, please beware......
