Ok folks, awhile back I had addressed the list about having the plastic
headliner bow covers reproduced for us folks who need them........Small
problem however, I need a small sample for duplication. Just a 6 or 8 inch
piece off a 57/58 Plymouth will do. I have some samples from other vehicles
of that era, and I think they all may be the same, or close to it, which
would make the cost come way down if they fit a wide array of vehicles. I may
have found someone to take it on the plastic fabrication, the biggest
stumbling block is the chrome look they have imbedded in the plastic. I have
been told that it's called "vacuum metallizing", something the manufactures
did on interior plastic. No one on the planet reproduces this process at the
moment. I did contact and talk to a gentleman who is chroming plastic as well
as playing around with putting a mirror finish on the back of interior
plastic pieces, which he has not yet perfected but is still in the process of
working on.
So the question is; would the people who need the pieces be willing to go the
chrome route, the mirror route or just plain plastic?
In any case, I'd be interested in everyone's comments..........thanks.....
