Looking to get some parts restored and anodized over the winter. Who are some good places to go to or ship my parts to since there doesn't seem to be any around my area in NY/NJ border.

thanks. Have you used them? If so, what is their work like and how are the prices?

Every piece on this car was done by McNichols,(roughly $1800.00) all flawless.Also,everything was returned before he accepted payment to be sure I was satisfied,you;ll find none better. Dash was done by GCAR in Washington. twocents

I use Bill at Special-T's and it is nice because he is local. He has a new website:

McNichols is top notch and been in business for a long time.

Been a long time since I used them so my prices are out of date.

I have to put a plug in for Norm at “Shine on Me” good to deal with, done when promised and I never thought aluminum could look so good!

The problem isn't the aluminum. Its the anodizing and bright dip plating that makes it shine. Aluminum can always be polished up but will oxidize over time causing it to get a chalky look. The anodizing is the protective layer that keeps it shining just like gold cad and zinc coatings.
