Jim,
Sounds like a challenging venture, but first a question -
What 57 "spears" are you referring to? There are several 57
Forward Look cars and most have some kind of stainless
stamped molding on the fenders and doors as well as various
anodized aluminum appliques and medallians. Hood ornaments
and mirror bases and other hardware parts are die cast
chrome plated along with many grille components etc.
What specifically are you thinking about making?
I have four 57 Dodges and can't find a cast "spear" on any
of them! There are gold anodized "Lancers" on the fins
though!
