I'm using Frankford right now for one of my driving light bezels and a center grille piece. I figured I would see how they do before giving them more work. I'm somewhat disappointed however.

I dropped the pieces off March 4th. They told me that it would be 3-4 weeks after looking at them and what I wanted done. I figured I'd be getting a call by April 10th or so (giving them 5 weeks). I called them on the 12th of April and the guy said they were almost done, itd be maybe Friday (the 15th), then I called back on Thursday the 21st and was told its almost done, the guys had a bad week or something and they were working on my piece at that exact moment, even working on Good Friday to catch up. No call on Friday. So I called first thing yesterday and was told that it just has to be nickel chromed and its almost done, but the chrome plater guy wasn't working yesterday, and it would be ready Tuesday (today) or Wednesday (tomorrow).

To be fair, there was a minor bit of Pot Metal repair on one of the 3 tabs that holds the threads for the parking light, but they knew this back in March when I dropped them off. I have events coming up very soon and I'm worried I won't be making some of them now, plus I'm very anxious to get this car out on the road!!
