INTRODUCTION
     Hello my name is Anthony Cook, and I am the owner/operator of Classic Metal Restorations. Since
opening for business in 2008 I have had the opportunity to meet a lot of people with interesting projects that
need plating done. In that time I have made some changes to the shops focus and services. Since 2015 for a
verity of reasons I have chosen to eliminate chrome plating as a service.
( SORRY NO CHROME PLATING )
NICKEL PLATING Has been the ideal focus for my small shop. Restoring, then re-plating antique
nickel plated parts from cars and motorcycles is the mainstay of the shop but over the years I have had an
increasing number of customers needing antique stove parts nickel plated as well. I have a photo's section
dedicated to antique stove jobs.   BRASS PLATING as of 2019 I have added brass plating of small parts up
to 14" inches long. LAMP RESTORATION the restoration of antique lighting has been another focus at
the shop. The lamp can be car, motorcycle, bicycle, acetylene, carbide, or electric, brass finish or nickel plated.
Service on lamps include dent removal, crack repair with brazing and soldering, surface preparation for nickel
plating and polishing for brass lamps.   Most of the lamps I restore are of my own stock but I hope to change
that. The restored lamps are then sold on Ebay or HCCA.org. I have a photo's section dedicated to antique
lamps.

Brass Restoration, dent removal.

Nickel plating: Vintage nickel is what I do best. Your project could be a Model T are a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost.
Regardless of your project you are going to get a high end nickel plate. Every part gets at least 1 hour in the nickel tank for a
durable, solid nickel plate. For good bonding, most parts gets at least one layer of copper between the base metal and the nickel
plate. Some engine parts are best strait to nickel. I can nickel plate up to 4 square feet of surface area and 4 1/2 feet in lenght.
