Chrome Tech USA
Did you just spend months restoring an older model, putting down a fabulous paint job, and then as the final step, put on the original bumpers and find that the chrome is all worn off? Robert has a great solution for you. He will re-chrome all of your pieces at very reasonable prices. I have had some done, and will have a bunch more.

This is one of the best places to buy an airbrush and airbrush-related supplies.

Keith has the best graphics for Musclecars I have ever seen. They are easy to work with, and are extremely accurate. He does not sell them from a website, but you can find him on eBay under user ID of kmarks999. This web page is an album of his items, with more on the way. Please let Keith know you saw them here!!!!
