"Ditto" ACE841, I used APC several years ago for my 69 dash bezel... Great work, highly reccomended.

Friends,

I agree American Plastics is what I have recently choosen for my plastic rechrome work. I sent them some parts from my 66 and can't wait to see them when they are done! I have also heard nothing but positive stuff on Rod and Chucks work. Plus Rod is fun to chat with

I had my dash bezel rechromed by them. Their turn-around time was faster than they said, and custormer service was excellent. Dash looks great.

Used them for my dash.I'm ok with the work.I just took mine to them and traded for one they had in stock.Gotten a few good clips and bolts from them(no problem there).Just as anything else i guess,i was able to see what i was getting before i paid for it.

hemdahl,

Why are you resurrecting all these 3+ year old topics :confused:
