Can you please PM me a price and turnaround time to PC the wheels on my car gloss black? Also, can you give me a rough ballpark cost of PC'ing my bumpers chrome? I haven't decided if i want to spend the $$$ to have them re-chromed or just PC them. . .The bumpers are straight, but the remaining chrome will need to be blasted off before PC.

beautiful car! I would do those rims for $50 each gloss black.
Is the bumper chrome peeling and rusty? if so, they need to be stripped and blasting usually doesnt do it on the good "old" chrome. Cheap chinese chrome, yes, but the old real stuff has to be removed via reverse process chroming and then powdered or re-chromed.
I know its expensive, but re-chromed is the way to go on those, I have a connection and I'll get you the number to a dude who did all of the chrome on my buds 50 ford and he did a beautiful job.

it's "old chrome" for sure. . .60 year old american chrome!!! I'd appreciate the info on the chrome guy too. As soon as I get the car in the garage I'll get it on jack stands and pull the wheels. . .the neighborhood association would shit if it's sitting on blocks in my driveway.

damn cody. . .nice work!!! I'll probably chop it, but not anytime soon. All of the true "old school" guys would be pissed if I cut up this decent "survivor" car. My plans for spring/summer are: 3" static drop, wide whitewalls, fender skirts, interior, and possibly metal flake the roof. I'll be gathering "speed" parts as my budget allows, there are lots of cool old intakes/headers/carbs to be found out there.
