WTB/trade chrome stuff
I know MBA went out of business but I am looking for a brake, power steering, washer, and coolant bottle chrome caps, chrome oil dipstick top, pcm cover, and heater/headlight control *****. I also need a few stock 16" chrome 5 spoke firebird wheels. Do not need to be perfect, just look good on outside. Email me at mybabythebird@aol.com please for the fastest response.
THANKS!!!!

I dont have any for sale but since it took me forever to find it all I can help with some....MidAmerica Corvette parts has the washer cap, brake, and master cylinder caps. Do a google search for a chrome Vette dipstick and you can find a whole replacment one for around $50. I got my PS cap (replacment...not cap cover) from of all places Autozone...they are made by Spectra.
Hope that helps some....finding all these is a pain in the ***!
I have added a lot of stuff since this pic....most is custom plated:

I bought extra parts off a wrecked car and sent them to a chrome shop to be chrome plated (there is a huge difference between "polished" and chromed by the way.) Like I said I have had A LOT of stuff chromed since that picture.
If you want the name of a top notch plater pm me...but just to let you know its not cheap!

Whats better, plating or powdercoating? Car sees winter snow and salt sometimes so which would hold up better and be easier to clean? Doesn't the chrome plating hold in heat? My ultimate goal is to carry my flame theme into the engine bay and interior without going overboard on it. Thanks!!

Honestly though if yours is a daily driver I wouldnt spend the money on chrome plating.
