Carb rebuilder & restorer???

Who is everybody using to rebuild and refinish their carburetor? My carbs works great but I need it refinished. Car is going to MCCAN this year. Thanks for your input.

You can try John Herald Jr, I know he is backed up on work right now. If you’re just needing it plated and cosmetics then I would think most carb restores should be able to handle that. Sparky’s carb service is another excellent carb guy. Along with Harms automotive.

HI, I am the John Herald Jr that was mentioned. I color bodies for my builds as well as a couple other builders. I do NOT plate the body. I developed a way to chemically restore the OE look and iredescence of the metal. The steel parts I have plated an hour away. Best bet is to email me, I don't frequent here unless directed to a post like this. oldsmotion442@gmail.com

I know of Harms in the Mopar world but I thought that is all they do.
