Title: Chrome Work
Post by: Frank Bowman on January 26, 2007, 06:21:26 AM
I have used Bob Oge for several years to do my chrome work on liners. Does anyone have contact info for him and is he still chroming liners? If he doesn't do that work anymore is there someone else that does top quality work? Email me or post . Thanks Frank Bowman Email : frankbowman@mylifeline.net  :)

Coming back to this 4 (or so) year old post, is Bob Oge still in business?  Or is there someone else doing chrome work?  (sounds like Tim does, but there may be some others with shorter lead times. ;D )

There was also a Blackwell (Blackburn??) gentleman who did chroming of piston/liners.  Anyone familiar?

Just need to update possible sources, thanks.

Bill

Thank you, Frank.  I will be emailing you, also!

I am sad to hear of Don's passing, I completely missed that.
