Don,
I retired from the Detroit area to west Tennessee (better weather, cheaper 
taxes). All my work is done by Leanord Plating in Nashville. Small family shop. 
Outstanding work. I believe that they have a web site. 

 Get America back to work.
Buy American.
Hire American.

John - who did your grill?  I've paid $450 a few years ago for basically the 
same work on a '65 Belvedere grill. You're in Detroit area?
