To
the friendly folks at CCP:
My wife and I would like to express our sincere appreciation for
your kind hospitality, help and generosity during our recent visit
…On our way home, we talked about how lucky we were that CCP
is a "small town" business, with "small town hospitality
and connections!"
Over the years, I've brought many loads of items to you for plating
and have always been impressed with (and complimented about) the
quality of work you all do! Some have even said that you guys make
Studebaker parts look like they belong on a classic Cadillac!
Thanks for your great workmanship and down-home hospitality!!
With appreciation,
Paul
& Sunni Gothard

About
Us
Jon
Wright was already an old-car hobbyist when he founded CustomChrome
Plating to serve auto restorers, and that was over 40 years ago.
"There's really no secret to what we do here at CCP,"
says Jon. “We handle the tough jobs that no one else will
do. Our staff gets a kick out of meeting challenges." The
attention to detail for which we are noted starts as soon as your
parts arrive at CCP. The parts are photographed to create a visual
record, which provides reference for each of the craftsmen who
will work on refurbishing your parts. Each piece is examined in
detail and any imperfections are marked for repair. Using whatever
fabrication methods are necessary -welding, soldering, grinding,
buffing- we will bring your parts back to their original shapes
and dimensions.
Some of the best hot rod, antique, and bike shops in the country
use CCP for their plating needs, and on other pages of this website
you’ll see many examples of our work.
At
CustomChrome, we have three different sets of brothers and a father
and son working here, and we all treat each other as family whether
we are or not. That close working relationship helps us take good
care of your parts, and instills pride in our craftsmanship. Here
are a few of our “family” you are likely to speak
with or meet:

Jon
Wright
|
The
guy responsible for CustomChrome. Jon started adult life going to
college and became a speech therapist, but after several years realized
that his real love was cars, and that he needed a career that involved
them in some way. He started CCP in 1968 on a shoestring budget,
with no knowledge of metal finishing or electroplating. Despite
all odds, he was able to develop it into one of the foremost and
respected custom plating businesses in the country. |

Sarah
has been with CCP since Aug 2007, and she will be one of the first
people you will see or talk to. (CCP’s Manager of First Impressions).
She is in charge of processing paperwork and staying in touch with
customers. When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with
her son, who is her pride and joy. |
Laurie
|
Laurie
is our office manager and came to CustomChrome with many years of
experience crunching numbers. She handles all of the financial aspects
of CCP. Besides a love of dealing with numbers, Laurie also is a
wooden boat fanatic and spends her free time with her husband working
on their classic “woodies”. |
Scott
|
Scott
is the shop manager. He came to work at CustomChrome in 1980 while
he was still in high school, and had only one other job at a local
burger joint before that. He has done work in all areas of the shop,
from sweeping floors to management. In between, he has done parts
stripping and plating, and Scott is a master metal finisher. |
