Chrome Work
« on: October 27, 2006 - 04:05:36 PM »
I just wanted to pass this on incase anyone was at the point of doing this. I had a good amount of my chrome redone.  Heres a list...

Tail Light Bezels (left, right and center) 3 pieces
Rear Ashtrays 6 pieces
Inside door handles 2 pieces
Inside door locks 2 pieces
Remote mirror inside bezel 1 piece
6 way seat adjsutment knobs 2 pieces
Flip Top Gas Cap Trim Ring 1 piece
Hurst Pistol Grip Shifter 3 pieces
Front bumper Guards 2 pieces
Rear Bumper Guards 2 pieces
Head Light Trim (around the actual lens) 4 pieces

I think thats about it, might have forgot something but the big things are there.

Most expensive was the rear taillight bezels, almost a thousand just for the three pieces. Reason, pot metal is tricky to restore and rechrome, the price of these also depend greatly on the condition of the pieces.

Second most expensive was the pistol grip shifter. The upper and lower bezels are pot metal, the handle also has the hurst logo engraved, and it has to be engraved again to keep the logo.

Total Cost for above pieces $2700 bucks   :o

You may have saved a great deal of cash just by going with some of the repop parts that are out there.

I thought about doing repos for some things but the company that is making the tail bezels PG classics, I dont think he quaility is there. I also wanted to keep much of the originals and my bezels were badly pitted causing the price to go up quite a bit.
