Figure I will need:
1. A complete set of bushings for the front end.
2. Upper and Lower Ball joints
3. Front Caliber rebuild kit
4. Stainless brake lines
5. New Rotors (not required, but as long as its torn apart)

anything else?

IMO,

Buy a car with chrome front suspension already

There have been a few sell recently with it already done

You want to get yours done

There are a couple people that had theirs done recently

John Stuttles documented his process very well

He had aluminum pieces polished & steel chromed. best way IMO

One other got his & brothers all chromed

Both my cars have chrome but was done by Gary Empfield (he no longer is involved in doing them)

Having chrome calipers, I would suggest just painting them

Personally I like the painted caliper matching the body to break up the sea of chrome. Chroming the calipers is difficult in that it is hard to get in the nooks and crannies and will eventually rust if it gets wet enough.
Get bolt covers to cover all the exposed treads as they will also rust.
