Send the pieces to any less than reputable chrome shop. That's how some of their "good" work turns out. You can also send it to reputable chrome shop and ask them how much to show chrome the piece and when they say $300 tell them you only have $50 in your budget and can they do it for that amount. Whola, "flash" chrome.

One thing to keep in mind (I was told this by a chrome shop), they cannot truly do a flash chrome as was done 30 years ago due to the process and EPA regulations today. Different metals and chemicals are used now that give a different hue to the chrome. They only way to reproduce that is to find someone doing it the old, now illegal way.

There was a place doing the proper flash chroming to big block valve covers a few years ago but I think they quit. Check with Year One to see if they still sell those valve covers that were concours correct that were about triple the price of the basic repros.................RatPack.............
