Wanted to devote a thread for local sources for parts and restorations. A few areas that would be helpful are:

general plating (for fasteners)
anodizing
chroming
electrical (gauge restorations, rebuilt alternators/startors, electrical wire/connectors)
media blasting
paint
chemical dipping

others?

We live in/near the Motor City. These resources must be abundant, and yet, it seems I'm always shipping parts out of the midwest.
