bill: Did it appear that they were able to sand down/fill the pits in the bottoms of the grooves on the pieces above the bumper? My shop said they could not get to them and only sanded out the flat surfaces. I did think at the time that a special wheel could be devised to carefully sand out the grooves. Rich Barber Brentwood CA 1964 300K Conv-ram with air, Roman Red From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of 'william ELDER' belder@xxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300] All: A while ago, Keith Boonstra recommended a chrome plating shop; that he had used for parts of his 300C, Custom Plating Specialists Inc. in Brillion, Wisconsin. The diecast pieces on the rear of my K were showing every bit of their 55 years of service, with the usual crazing and pitting. Curiously, my K is originally a Wisconsin car. I decided to go with Keith’s recommendation and sent my pieces to Custom Plating Specialists. I am glad I did. The parts came back beautifully chromed. There was some loss of definition on the edges of the fluted pieces; but I expected that. Thirty years ago, I had my K convertible restored at RM Restorations, a world renowned shop and they sent the identical pieces to the best plating shop in Canada. I would say the parts that I just had done are comparable. Even with the US money exchange rate and customs duties, I am still saving money. I would like to thank Keith for his recommendation and I would like to thank the employees at Custom Plating Specialists, who did such a great job on my diecast pieces. 300ly bill __._,_.___ Posted by: "Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx> To send a message to this group, send an email to: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or go to https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/all/manage/edit For list server instructions, go to http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm For archives go to http://www.forwardlook.net/300-archive/search.htm#querylang __,_._,___ |
