Just curious if anyone knows of any reasonable replating places in the midwest? I've never had anything rechromed so im completely clueless on the process/price. I do know that it can be pretty expensive, just no idea how expensive. I have a 67 charger that im looking to get the majority of everything redone.
 
I had mine done at Ogden Chrome in Ogden Utah, the prices were going up 5 years ago, I cant imagine they are lower, but the did an outstanding job, I had the show chrome job, they do three different levels, you can submit on their site for a quote.

STAY AWAY from Advanced Plating in Tennessee. They ruined some of my pieces for my '63, due to POOR prep on them. Now I'm looking for replacement trim, and not that easy to come by...
 
I used quality chrome platers in Sterling Illinois, which is in the northern part of the state. He has a couple of different price points as far as what your budget allows. He pretty much pulled out a Keystone price list and works off of that. I chose to pay a little extra and either way I saw both price points both very nice but for a little extra you can reach into the chrome. I had both of my 64 Polara bumpers done a couple of years ago for about 900.00. Pleasant people to do business with

They resquared the carriage bolt holes, repaired a dent by the left exhaust tip & plated. Bolted right up no issues and it's show quality chrome. about 475$ a bumper.
 
I had my bumpers replated by Paul’s Chrome in Evans City, PA and they were $900.00 a bumper. They look great and it was about a half hour north of my house. Maybe too far for you in the Midwest.
 
I used North Star Plating (a Keystone company) in Brainerd, MN for my 65 bumpers with good results. They even finish welded some customization for me (their stipulation). Even the rust pits on the back looked good!

I had to sand blast the dash frame and repaint it.
They sure put a lot of bling on the inside of the car.
So I went ahead and sand blasted all that chromed steel trim that goes up high and round the front and rear glass.
(Was rusty)
Then painted all that to match the dash frame.
Just an idea.
The only chrome left in the interior will be the back/side trim pieces on the front seats (for "wear" prevention) and the pot metal on the rear backs which was "OK".
I dropped those pieces off locally with the bumpers to be re-chromed.
Still is expensive.
10 little pieces was about as much a bumper.
