Just a “few” of the chrome pieces that Advanced Plating is doing for us!!! They look amazing and we can’t wait to see them in person!

When you are working on a rare car, all of the fine details are what helps take a car to the next level. We recently worked on a set of hubs for a 1935 Duesenberg where the stamped lettering on the face and sides had been worn down. The text was not exactly legible, but hated to see these finished without the text. Before we stripped them, we scanned the text of all four hubs. Between the four of them, we were able to recreate the text on the computer. At this same time, the hubs were metal finished and plated in copper. Once the file was finished, we sent the copper plated hubs and the files to our friends at One Ten Machining. They were then able to machine this text file on the main face and sides of the hubs. After they engraved them, they were brought back and final nickel-chrome plating was performed. We just had to share this process as we couldn’t be happier with the way they turned out.

Just a few of the items for the 1935 SSJ that Advanced Plating is working on for us! We can’t wait to everything else!

We process our fair share of delicate pieces, but it is hard to top the delicacy of polishing, racking, and plating copper lines. Not only is the stuff easy to bend and warp, but in all occasions we must retain its original shape. These lines are for a 1935 Duesenberg J being restored at Rowe’s Rod and Custom, so as you can imagine shape retention is key!
