Default Good Chrome Shop?

Tearing down my '66 Glide for restoration and most of the chrome pieces need re-chromed.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Not much choices for chrome shops in central Iowa...&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; pieces are not very big so easy to ship.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Looking for a good reputable chrome shop (steel and cast) with reasonable rates (yeah, I know chrome has gone through the roof).&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Just did a old corvette and the bumpers I did locally because of shipping costs and hassles, but they tore my head off on cost.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Figure there are a few names that keep coming up in our "community"?&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\; \\\\\\; All leads appreciated!!
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;

There is a shop in Fesno California call Meclec, ask for Todd, I'm not sure if they deal with individuals or just shops, but they are the best around.

I have used www.usachrome.com, American Revolution, Inc. Patrick Curran is manager. They helped restore a 1959 Coup de Ville, and many bikes for our shop. Takes a while to get parts back, but the quality is excellent.
