    If you can find out who he is and where he lives maybe one of us hoosiers can help. I live in the Indy area but travel all over the state. Maybe he would hand them off but is unwilling to pay shipping costs. Let me know if I can help.

    Google chrome plating Muncie Indiana. Several shops come up with phone numbers. Maybe give them a ring and see if they know him? The best known Chrome shop in the area is C.M.F. Custom Metal Finishing. Phone 1-866-489-4058. Josh from the HAMB used to work there and may know him too.

    There was a fairly long thread on here where he was going to do plating with minimum prep work. Customer would be responsible for the bulk of the prep and save money on labor compared to typical plating work. IIRC he said he worked full time for a plating shop and was doing this on the side. I remember a few people who'd sent him stuff seemed pleased when they got their parts back from him after plating.

    I stopped by the mail box address today. The UPS store said they couldn't tell me if he still had a mailbox there or not. I said, that makes me think he still does. She was hard to read but I think he's still picking up mail there. How about sending him a letter from a lawyer or just a plain old letter asking for your stuff back and see if it comes back RTS? If he is receiving mail there you will know it.

    I would be visiting this thread every day if members here were trying to help me. Looks like I'm more concerned than chopt31 is? Good luck.

    Is it possible the guy got caught dipping parts he wasnt supposed to at his day job, then got fired... Possibly leaving parts at said day job?

    Maybe call area chrome shops and see if something similar played out... He had to be dipping stuff somewhere

    I wrote my check to Rosanna Canfield. The address Jimmy had me send the parts to is:
    Jimmy Chrome
    5056 W 150 S
    Winchester, IN 47394

    I also sent stuff to this address once:
    Budget Chrome
    4319 West Clara Lane
    PMB #287
    Muncie, IN 47304

    Not sure which was the most recent.
