So Im working on the vintage snowmobile charity project and we need some items rechromed and plated.. I saw an ad for this JR's cutom plating in Forest lake...

anyone know anything about them or any other local place? I know Keystone does Automotive bumpers... But Im not sure they get into the kind of work we want done here..

Thanks, Tony

JRs just donated a couple gift certificates to a rod run I went on today. I've heard they do decent work, don't know if I've seen it in person though.

 JR does good work buy he has gotten quite expensive. Wouldn't hurt to get an estimate but you will need to take the parts there for that.

When the Camaro Club was at Hastings this year, a couple guys were going around giving estimates of chrome work . I have a card here from them. J & D Plating at 2124 Gilbert Ave. St. Paul 651-251-7400 Lance in sales and Gary as the owner. They had a Mopar there and all the brightwork did look first rate but I have no other experience with them.

I talked to JR at Back to the 50's and they offered us a shop tour during the offseason. We have never had a meeting at a plating shop before. I think it would be a cool deal. They do appear to do good work.
