Cragar SS chrome plating by Atlas Plating

[Too Many Projects]

I bought a couple sets of Cragars new in the 70's and it seems like the satin was just a coat of paint. If I remember it scratched fairly easily if a person wasn't careful with the tire iron on the nuts. And yes, we used 4 way irons to install/remove nuts back then. Only shops had air wrenches and cordless tools ?? They were as much a fairy tale as Dick Tracy's shoe phone...
