Hey All,
Finally (!!) gearing up for the resto on my dad's ol' '70 BSA Royal Star. one of the big ticket items on the list is the tank restoration....originally chrome, but now has plenty of spot rust and a few dents in it (Most likely from stuff dropping onto it while it set for 20 years!)
At any rate, Im looking to get it re plated. Problem is, the shops around my area (Ottawa, Canada) either don't do gas tanks anymore or is run by some crusty ol' timer who can't be bothered (Dude actually bitched me out for wanting to Nickle plate it instead of chrome......?!)
So yeah, Im not against sending the tank south if I have to to get the job done right, so any recommendations for plating shops that will do tanks would be most appreciated.
cheers,
J
