I have to say that I am a very lucky man! I showed my wife, Cheryl Edge my batch of re-chromed parts for my 1964 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, and knowing that I had just shelled out over $1000 for the chrome plating for the parts seen in the included picture, she turned to me and instead of complaining about the money spent, she pointed to the stainless steel side trim molding and asked " Can you also have that rechromed." Life is good... it is very, very good!


The plating was done by Atlantic Coast Plating out of Athens, TN.   Here is there website: http://www.atlanticcoastplatinginc.com/   
I highly Recommend them!

Plus, you got a good deal on the re-chrome work.  Most of it looks like pot metal, which can be expensive to re-chrome.  I know the feeling, like when my wife told to expand the detached garage.  I still need to do that.

Jason,
Wait till the truck shows up with the new washer & dryer & I almost forgot the new refrigerator.
Then there's always that little get away to the Carribean.

NICE!  I know we all like to joke but without the support of our "better half" this hobby would not be anywhere near as enjoyable. Take your special Lady to a nice meal in South Park Jason. And oh yes......awesome looking chrome. Who did it?

Jason, you done good with Cheryl! I am also a lucky guy. My wife Anne loves these old cars as much as me. When we got the 1960 Biarritz (frame off conversion that cost more than any of our rental houses) she said that we should get more of that quality.

As contrasted with a friend who passed and his wife was trying to decide what to do with his four cars, and was told that he really had FOURTEEN. Ten she did not know about.

It's a good thing that "the ten" were cars.... and not women!
