I know a yank who was restoring a 57 chevy about 20 years ago, he had a quote ~$30k to rechrome
what needed rechroming! He bought a lot of chromed repro parts and had some parts rechromed,
it ended up costing a lot less than 30k, and I gather the pile of "only needs rechroming" original parts
reduced this cost even more.
I have always looked at things and weighed up the cost difference between rechroming and making from
stainless, even in the 70's it was often cheaper to remake part.
