Posted: 06 Mar 2017 12:02
As I go down the project path, I always try to find local expertise when I can. It hasn't been easy Is there doesn't seem to be a lot of demand for it in the KC metro area. As I find people, i'll start listing them here, if some are not local, i'll post here as well.

Larry at Donell's cycle is a wealth of knowledge and can do single cylinder multi-piece cranks and bore/hone cylinders in house.
Zinc Platting: (You don't need to bring in 20 pounds of fastners etc, they do it quick and reasonable)
US Platting in KC
(816) 231-8834
Chad at Area 51 in Odessa is a rock star, he's a little pricey and has a backlog, but if you need performance or even basic work done, the guy is meticulous.
Vapor Blasting:

Resto Cycle in Tucson, unreal how it comes out, they will give you their corp ship rates and will cover shipping back to you.
Vintage crap restoration of cases, forks lowers etc. Powder coating as well.
Alex Callas north of Chicago. Ping me if you want his info.
He's a standup guy, and when he comes across something with your project he can't fix, he'll point you in the right direction and work with you to make things right, he'll also make sure you are completely happy with his work as he's doing it, and after you get it. He actually told me "if you don't like it, send it back and I'll make it right".
