So we've all heard the saying "You can't polish a turd." Well I now stand corrected!!! I bought a 1949 Chevy license guard for cheap on ebay but it was in bad rusty / pitted condition. I modified it by reforming the contour so it will fit my odd shaped bumpers, took a large section out of the middle and added a back piece to it as well as a hole for a light. My welding skills kinda suck so by the time I got through with everything I was starting to doubt if it was even gonna work. I read a lot of great things about Chrome Plater Josh on the HAMB so I sent it off to Custom Metal Finishing in Indiana. I just got it back and HOLY CRAP! It looks like a NOS license surround from the 50's! The chrome is beautiful and the finish metal work they did is amazing. The price was VERY reasonable as well. They now have a customer for life and you should not hesitate to send your chrome pieces their way.
