: Quarter glass chrome replating

Has anyone sent out their quarter glass chrome for replating? If so who did them and what was the cost?

I just sent back a set of reproduction moldings for my 72, which of course, did not fit. They were not curved enough, although the chrome plating was very nice. So I guess I'll end up sending the originals out for plating.

Thanks,
Mike

I had my complete vent wing assemblys and quarter glass chrome done back in the winter for my 67. The cost was $375.00. It was done by a place in Dayton Ohio called Metalbrite. They done an excellent job.

Thanks guys. I'll maybe try a local plating company.

It still amazes me how they can't reproduce this part that fits. :confused:

Still can't be original parts.
