I have a local customer who wants the hinges with the springs on his 1971 Challenger chromed, has any one on here done that or know a good chrome shop who will? Thanks in advance

Had them on my 69 D200, the springs and the bottom mounting plates rusted pretty quick. Not terrible rust but still surface rust from about one year old.
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I've' had these done since 1988. had them done at advanced plating. no rust yet. but it is always garaged. I know the ring brothers does make very nice billet hinges. another possible option?

https://youtu.be/8ZLOzctb8HcDon't have a picture of my hinges and springs on my current phone but I will attach my you tube video.. These were chromed back in 1985 hinges and springs..nothing has chipped or cracked all this time..my only complaint was the chromer was not an automotive guy and did not polish out with it in the open position but it still worked out fine for me..they still shine bright as a Star
