Yeah, the guys doing chemical stripping ...and chroming ...and plating have had to clean up their act over the last couple of decades. Nearly everything they use is now regulated as hazardous. Takes a lot of dedication to stick with it and many have gone by the wayside.
On a similar note, a few years ago in MO they passed a law that requires salvage yards to have a title for all cars they're parting out. Apparently there's no grandfather clause. A lot of yards with old classic cars couldn't meet the requirement, so they're crushing the cars and selling them for scrap. My custom bumper setup on the Ford wasn't developing the way I'd hoped, but I had a plan B that involved acquiring a front valance off a '59 Plymouth. Put out feelers and have had no luck. I wasn't aware of the issue until just recently. Guess it's the law of unintended consequences.
