Depending on who is available locally and how good they are, you might reconsider the shipping thing. Ogden Chrome makes it real easy, they have them picked up from and delivered to your doorstep. All you have to do is pack them well, basically wrap them in cardboard. Great prices, outstanding quality, straightened, smoothed, triple plated. They did my mangled cores, I was expecting driver quality & I was stunned at how nice they came out. They are definitely show quality now.
